A couple days later...

Rin's P.O.V.

I was in cram school and was nodding off into sleep. Because Kimi wouldn't stop crying last night. I don't know if she was cranky from being tired or had a nightmare, but she wouldn't stop crying until after 2 am. I was still holding my pencil in my hand since I was writing something. Kimi was in the holder against my chest and snuggled her face there. I'm starting to think her favorite spot is mine and Yukio's chest. Probably because hearing a heartbeat is soothing. Sheimi was sitting next to me, she started cram school a little late and with some convincing from Yukio.

"...mura..."

"..kmura..."

"Okumura!" Shouted the teacher before I shot up.

"Yes, sir?"

"What is the lowest ranking demon?"

"Um, coaltars?"

"You got it correct even though you were asleep. Next time, if you're gonna fall asleep or not pay attention, you're free to leave."

"I'm sorry, sir. It won't happen again." I said before the teacher continued to go on with his lesson. I turned my head around because I heard something. I saw a guy with brown hair with a blond shtik and piercings. And he was glaring at me.

"Piss off!" He whispered. He's been mad dogging me from day one. Before Kimi, I probably would of glared right back and call him out for a after school fight and beat the hell out of him. But I have to be more responsible now and not get into any fights. I need to think about Kimi's safety first. It's a good motivation, Kimi is what gets me out of bed in the morning. Before her I would of slept in and be late for class, unless Yukio tried to wake me up which was almost never worked out. She's the reason why I make better decisions and why I'm motivated to become an exorcist. I want to become stronger, so I can protect her and not rely on anyone to help me.

But I started taking notes when I nodded off into sleep again. And the teacher yelled at me again. My nodding off into sleep, and getting yelled at, continued all the way to Yukio's class. He was handing back tests and got to me after one or two people. After he called me, I stood up and walked over to him.

"You missed a few, so make sure you get them right next time." He said as he gave me my test. It was a 74.

"Yes, sir." I said as I was going to sit down and Yukio called the next person.

"Couldn't get that grade even if I tried." Said a male voice as he walked to get his test. I looked at him and it was the guy with the rebellious look. I just glared at him as Yukio gave him his test.

"All of your hard work payed off, Suguro." Yukio said before the guy, known as Suguro, showed me his test. It was a 98.

"So? I don't care." I said before I started to go to my desk again.

"Huh?! What'd you say?!" He said in angry voice.

"I. Don't. Care. I have myself and my baby to worry about then you."

"Listen you loser! I came here because I'm serious about becoming and exorcist!" He yelled before Yukio sort of nodded in agreement. But Yukio was also keeping an eye on the both of us incase we started to physically fight. "And everyone is studying their butts off, so they can become exorcists too! You're not serious about becoming an exorcist! Get outta here! Get lost!"

"Really rooster boy? How do you know I'm not motivated?"

"I can tell by the way you act in class! You keep sleeping!"

"I do study when I get the chance, you know. I got a baby to worry about, so I don't always have the time for myself."

"There you go about your baby again! You're just getting spoiled because you're a teen parent! You're the father, so where's her mommy?!" He yelled as his two friends started to hold him back. Yukio was standing by my side incase I would charge at him. What he said was what finally ticked me off.

(I'm sorry I'm making Bon such a jerk, he'll get better.)

"Well, maybe when you're a parent you'll understand how hard it is! It's stressful and tiring! You lose lots of sleep and sometimes don't get to take a shower! Her 'mother' isn't around! I have to do everything myself! And I don't like being spoiled, or people being nicer, or people going easy on me just because I have a baby! I'm being treated just like you!" I yelled back at him before Kimi started to cry. I immediately put my test on my desk before wrapping my arms around her, despite her being in the holder. I also rubbed her back.

"Awww, I'm sorry I raised my voice, sweetheart." I said before I started to walk out of the classroom. I gave Suguro a glare before leaving. I did eventually calm her down before going to meet up with Yukio and Sheimi. But I got my stuff from class first. All three of us were sitting on the fountain.

"I'm sorry about Suguro, Rin. I should of stopped him sooner." Yukio said.

"It's okay. You were worried if we were actually gotta get into a fight. You did what you could. What's his deal anyway?"

"He's the heir to a temple. He's going here on a scholarship like I am. Is every smart and a good athlete. He works really hard, but has a little anger, apparently."

"Okay."

"So anyway, how are you doing Sheimi? Have you gotten used to school?" He asked Sheimi.

"Uh, not really no."

"But if you ask me you gotten more confident then you were before. Just do your best and relax." He said with a smile.

"Okay, thanks for the tip, Yuki." She said before Yukio stood up from the fountain and walked onto the grass.

"Well, I got another class to teach. I'll see you two later. And I'll say something to Suguro later."

"Bye." I said as I waved goodbye.

"Bye, Yuki." Sheimi said before he left. After a few minutes of silence between us, I asked her something.

"So, are you in the normal school too?" I asked her before she turned her head to look up at me. She shook her head before answering.

"No, I'm to shy for that. I only asked if I could get into the cram school. I barely went to my classes in junior high."

"Yeah, I barely went to my junior high classes either. I had a hard time fitting in."

"Rin, be honest..."

"Mm?" I hummed in response to show I listening.

"I don't belong in cram school. Do I?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I'm not here to be an exorcist like everyone else. I'll need to be smart like Suguro and I know I'll never be."

"Yeah, I guess you're right. It is nice having a big brain like that. But the world needs all types of people. You're perfect just the way you are."

"Hey Rin, Do you have any friends?" She said as she stood up on the fountain. Then she held one of my hands. I was blushing as I looked at her. "Rin, see I would like to be your f-"

"Uh oh, look at these love birds kissing." Said that voice I didn't want to hear right now from behind us.

"We aren't kissing!" I said in a louder voice, but not yelling. I didn't want Kimi to cry again.

"She's your girlfriend, isn't she?"

"No."

"What are you? Just friends?"

"No, we're not friends. We were just talking." I don't know if my non-trusting motherly instincts made me say that. Or the fact I didn't want to have to rise my voice again. "What about you? Huh? You're always with your friends. You afraid of being alone for something?" I said before Suguro looked offended and the one with pink hair started to laugh.

"What are you laughing about, Shima?!" Suguro said.

"He's right, we're always together." Shima responded

"What? Don't take his side!" He said before looking at me again. Then we just glared at each other.

Magical skippy of time brought to you by Mephisto~~

We were at gym class now. Me and Suguro were racing each other with a reaper behind us. I was ahead of him and keeping pace. I had Kimi with Yukio because I knew I wouldn't be able to take care of her and run at the same time. I luckily fed her before class.

"What you doing rooster boy? Your brain can't help you keep up in the real world?" I said as my head was turned to look at him. We were still running and my sword was hitting my back.

"What? I don't think you know how the real world works. Because the guy left standing in the end wins!" He said before jumping up and kicking me in the back. I fell the the ground before the reaper was about to get him, but the teacher used the chin to hold it back.

"Are you two trying to get yourselfs killed?! This exorcise is supposed to let get get used to how the demon moves!" The teacher yelled at us.

"What was that all about?" I asked as I was catching my breath.

"I rather die then lose to scum bag like you." He responded as he was catching his breath too.

"Fine then." I said before standing up and going up the latter. The teacher pulled Suguro aside.

Bon's P.O.V.

"Now look here, Suguro. You're one of the best students here. All the teachers are expecting great things from you." The teacher said.

"But pardon me, sir. If there's a fight both parties are to blame. So, isn't Rin Okumura just as I am?"

"Well, the detractor is the one that enrolled him. Some people say he has special issues. You're better off if you don't get involved with him." The teacher said before I looked up at Rin.

"Special issues, my ass."

Rin's P.O.V.

"I really hate that guy." I said after I got up there.

"Yeah, sorry. Bon is so serious, it's hard for him to cut people slack. Because of his big ambition." Said a male voice. I turn to look at them and it was Shima and Konekomaru. It was Shima who said that.

"Big ambition?" I said.

"To defeat Satan and restore our temple to its former glory. It was all ruined after the blue night." Konekomaru explained. I know what the blue night was. "Our head monk was still in training. All he could do was sit in corner until dawn."

"Yeah, people stopped coming and word got around. Before you knew it people were calling it the cursed temple." Shima continued.

"The boy from the cursed temple, huh?" I said.

The class continued with Sheimi and Izumo running. After them it was Shima and the guy in the hoodie. But after a couple minutes, the teacher left for a call and called someone kitty cat.

"This is a bunch of b s, True Cross Academy is the place where the highly motivated people gather. Even the students suck here." Suguro said as he turned to face me. "We're all here to become exorcists and you're slacking off and unmotivated."

"Huh?! How do you still know I'm not motivated?" I asked.

"Oh dear, here they go again." Shima said.

"I can tell by the way you act in class. If you were serious, you would stay awake." Suguro said.

"Oh well sorry, that my child was cranky last night and wouldn't stop crying until after midnight! I can't control her, you know."

"Fine then, if you are motivated, let's do a test. A reaper is a peaceful demon, but it will read you for any emotion. Fear, anger, sadness, and jealousy. And when you look away, it will attack. Because it chooses that moment. So, if you can touch it and come back here, it'll show you're motivated. I'll do it too."

"Bon..." Konekomaru said.

"Sure sounds fun. I'll do it." I said before everyone but Izumo and the two weird guys looked shocked. Suguro looked happy with my answer though. "Yeah, right. What if something goes wrong and I die? It's stupid."

'Because I can't use my sword or powers in front of them. And who would be there for Kimi if I die?' I thought. What I said still made Suguro angry again.

"Besides, I need to stay alive for my child."

"Damnit. Why doesn't anyone fight back? Fine then, I'll still do it." He said before he went down to the arena.

"Bon!" Konekomaru yelled at him.

"Are you crazy?!" I yelled at him as he started walking to the reaper.

"I'm gonna be a real exorcist someday! And defeat Satan!" Suguro said before Izumo started laughing.

"You hear that? He said he's going to defeat Satan." She said. Then after a few seconds of Izumo laughing, the reaper went to attack Suguro. I did the only thing I could think of and jumped into the arena and in between the reaper and Suguro. I used my demon eyes to get the reaper not to bite me. The I reaper pulled back before looked back at
Suguro.

"What were you doing? Are you insane?" I said.

"Huh? I'm insane? You could of gotten killed!" He said as he stood up.

"But I didn't. You know, for someone who is very smart, you got an idiot way of thinking sometimes."
