Author's Note: Thanks for reading! Please review and let me know if there are any mistakes :). Oh, and I know in the show TCA isn't public, but it is in the AU. Also, the character Rin meets in this chapter is one that I made up. Hopefully there are no actual anime characters who look and act that way ^_^'. Anyway, enjoy!

Meeting Kimi

I watched as Yukio paced from one side of my room to the next, gnawing on his bottom lip. He'd been doing this since we got home about two hours ago. I still don't know what happened in the office, seeing as Yukio had gotten there before I had and was already having in a heated discussion with the weird clown principal.

Earlier That Day

I took my time walking to the office, dreadfully aware of what Mephisto wanted to speak to me about. I brought the nail of my thumb to my lips and nibbled on the end nervously. Yukio told me to stay out of trouble and this is what I do. I'm really the worst brother ever.

Vice Principal Tsubaki was leaving the office as I reached the top of the stairs. "Ah, can you hold the door for me please?" I rushed to the door and he turned to me, giving me a dry look. "Okumura, I assume? The rebellious one." My teeth clenched immediately, but I'm in enough trouble as it is. "It's Rin."

I stepped inside the office and looked toward the door labelled 'Principal'. The secretary nodded her head toward the door and I cracked it slightly. "-delinquent behavior at my school Okumura!" "He's not..," I heard my younger brother face palm, "can't you just give him detention? Please, Phisto." I withdrew, slamming the door back closed and ran out of the office. Shit! Is he trying to expel me already?!

I made sure that I was on time for the rest of my classes that day and that I paid special attention. I can't be separated from Yukio.

Present Time

Yukio turned to me suddenly, face red with anger. "Nii-san, how…why? Ugh!" He dropped to his knees and started shaking uncontrollably. "Yu-yukio?" I knelt beside him on the floor and reached to caress his face. "Don't touch me!" He looked up at me and my heart broke at the sight of the tears streaming down his face. I stood up and clenched my fists looking at him. "What did Principal Mephisto say?!" It was his turn to stand up. "Does it matter?! I should've known you wouldn't have taken this seriously! Just how much do I mean to you, Rin?! You said..you loved me…that I was the best brother you could ever ask for!" I looked away from his expectant eyes.

"I do. You know I do..and you are, Yuki." I laced my fingers through his and pulled him into a hug. "I do love you, Yukio. It's just…we got up so early this morning and-," A sigh left my twin's lips and he sniffled, wiping furiously at his eyes. "He…he said he'll give you a week of detention…that's all." My jaw dropped. That's all?! "As opposed to?" "Expulsion." "Shit. Why is he being so tough on me?" "Big brother. You came to the school a month late and on your first day you skipped two of your classes. He's doing you a favor." My lips twisted and I nodded slowly.

"Don't worry, anytime you get in trouble again, I'll get you out of it. Anything…to keep you beside me." My face turned tomato red and Yukio giggled lightly before holding my face and giving me a chaste kiss on my lips. It was just one of the many ways he showed his affection. We always did it when we were younger but apparently only I grew out of that. "I've got homework, Nii-san. I'm going to sleep right after, so good night." I watched him leave and fell back on my bed. Geez. A week of detention?

The Next Day

Yukio and I got to school a little later than the day before, which I was grateful for. Of course, though, he complained about not having enough time to study and ran off to the library. What is with him?

I huffed and decided to walk around the school building. I passed a tennis court, a pool, a baseball diamond and a track. Damn. And this is a public school?

Large doors caught my eye and I stalked over to them and pushed them open. Inside was a basketball court with polished floors and bleachers on either side. I don't particularly like basketball, but anybody would be lucky to play on this court. A few moments later the bell rang and I cursed under my breath. What was my first class again? I quickly pulled out my schedule and read the bold lettering. "Gym. Lucky me," I grumbled.

Where was the locker room again? I know I passed it but-. My thoughts were cut short as I bumped into somebody. I stood my ground, but they fell. "S-sorry," the person squeaked. "Oh, it's my fault. I wasn't looking…" When I looked down my breath caught. Staring up at me shyly was one of the most beautiful males I'd ever seen in my life.

I held my hand out and he took it. Soft… He caught me staring and used his silver hair to hide his lilac eyes. "U-um, I'm. Are you lost?" When I didn't answer immediately he started stuttering again. "I-I mean because, um, I know you're new because I haven't seen you around! Not, not that I'm a creep who watches people or anything but, oh kami. I'll shut up now." I laughed warmly and he blushed.

"It's okay, you're right. I am lost. Can you show me where the locker rooms are?" "Locker rooms?" His eyes locked on mine. "You have gym first? Me too! So I guess Mr. Angel is your homeroom teacher?" I smiled as I noticed him getting more comfortable. "Yea, he is." "Mine too!" He laughed genuinely. "Hey, what's your name?" My classmate stopped laughing and a faint blush appeared on his face again. "Um, it's…Kimiko." He said under his breath. "Huh?" "It's Kimiko." He seemed to be speaking even softer that time. "What?!"

"KIMIKO!" A voice boomed from behind us. "Stop talking to that freak and let's get going to gym, ne?" The pink haired male in my math class was the owner of the voice. Great. He must be in my homeroom too. "F-freak!? D-don't call Rin a freak, Shima!" "What? You found a new guy to fall in love with this week?" Shima laughed. "Yea, and it's your brother, push off!" My angry words were directed toward the new arrival. The other male simply sneered as he walked pass us with the big guy from yesterday and baldy. "What's his problem," I asked Kimiko. "He just think he's the big boss of the first years is all." The smaller male giggled and I smiled. "Well, the locker rooms are this way. Don't wanna get in trouble again right?" Kimiko stuck his tongue out at me and ran off in the direction the other guys went. I gasped playfully and ran behind him. This term surely will be an interesting one.
