"Rin hold still."

"I can't help it! This tickles!"

Metatron rolled his eyes as he went to tuck in Rin's shirt again. Rin swatted his hands away in irritation.

"I can dress myself for school Metatron."

"I know, but you should look your best for your school pictures."

"I swear you are a worse mother hen than dad."

Metatron gave Rin a mocking look.

"You are!"

"Rin, please. I'm your guardian angel. And I'm guarding you from Haniel's freak out if you go as you were."

"I can handle Haniel."

"Rin, be reasonable. We love you. We go easy on you. If we wanted to, we could make you a walking bruise."

Rin rolled his eyes at the mother henning guardian angel.


"I never thought I'd actually miss my brother," Sandalphon muttered sitting above Yukio as he taught his class. It was as he expected. Two cliques from the Kyoto trio and the two girls with a close hanging meeker girl with two loners. The basic set up was boring at best and made him miss the wildness Rin had a habit of carrying with Metatron.

As it was, classes were predictable at best. He groaned and his wings fluffed up in irritation.

"Ugh. Boring."

"Shut up Sandolphon. You don't hear me complaining."

"Ariel, I have had more excitement in recent years. Pardon me if I assumed that there would be something more to the exorcist training."

"You've seen it once before. Of course it would be boring. Now be quiet. I must keep watch over Paku."

"You're telling me this doesn't bore you?"

"It does not. I care for her."

"And I Yukio. But Yukio isn't like his brother."

"Yes, he lacks the flames of hell."

"Do not blame the child for the sins of the father Ariel."

"I don't. But as Paku's gaurdian angel, I must realistically acknowledge dangers."

"Is that why you have been spying on Metatron and Rin?"

Ariel glared just as class ended.

"Oh, time to stretch my wings. See you later Ariel."

Ariel huffed and followed Paku and her friend. Sandolphon sighed and followed Yukio. He watched as he went off to his single dorm room where no one would question his tools and equipment.

"If only you could see me Yukio."

Yukio didn't react, unaware of the angel over his shoulder. Yukio yawned tiredly as Sandolphon gently placed his hand on Yukio's shoulder. He sent feelings of warmth and comfort from the lord above through him.

Yukio's eyes fluttered shut as the warm comforted him. Feelings of home, the monastery and his brother filled him for reasons he didn't know.

His eyes lazily opened and he looked to his phone. Picking it up, he called a seldom used number. He waited as the ringing echoed in his ear.

"Hello?"

"Nii-san," Yukio responded with a smile.

"Yukio! Hey how's my smarty pants little brother doing?"

"I'm doing fine. I just wanted to see how you're doing. Staying out of trouble?"

"Heh. Don't I always?"

"Not funny Rin. I haven't heard from you since we visited Shiro."

"I know crazy right-" there was something placed over the speaker of the phone making an odd noise similar to a hand on a speaker "Not so tight!"

"Nii-San? is everything alright?" Worry krept into his voice recognizing the muffled voice as one that Rin used when Yukio first began treating his injuries.

"What? Aw Yukio I'm fine really. Just sprained my ankle is all," Rin spoke quickly and in a manner Yukio knew Rin used when he was lying.

"Rin, what really happened? You're hurt. How bad is it?"

"Yukio. I am fine."


Metatron snorted as he continued to bandage Rin's torso. A particularly nasty slash mark on his back near his tail mark from an over agressive Hobgoblin made for some nasty clean up. Clean up Rin rightfully was keeping from his brother.

"Really, I was just playing around with some guys and twisted my ankle. They're just wrapping it a bit too tight is all. Wish you were here to wrap it instead-" Metatron whacked him lightly with his wings in joking retaliation, "Hey! Knock it off!"

"I haven't heard much about your friends Nii-San. Who are they?"

"Well, there is Michael," Rin starts off slowly. Michael was a European name right? And he was friends with one, kind of, "He's a foriegner. And there is," he gazed into a mirror and locked eyes with his guardian angel, "Miyamoto. He lives in a nearby temple with his brother."

"Seriously? Miyamoto? Metatron and Sandalphon Miyamoto- You know what, I kind of like it."

"What about you Yukio. You haven't mentioned any friends. Or maybe... you have a girlfriend?"

Yukio sputtered over the phone making Rin laugh.

"Ohoho, Should I call the old man? Tell him to ring the wedding bells?"

"Nii-San!"

*Looks at last update date.*

So I may have gotten distracted... and forgotten where I was going. But this story is far from forgotten.
