Disclaimer: I wish owned Blue Exorcist...but sadly I don't.

New Teacher Okumura

Yukio watched as Rin was making a fool of himself as he stood on a table belly dancing. On his stomach was a horribly drawn face, which Yukio thinks was supposed to be Shura. Rin pinched his belly button to make it talk as he spoke in a terrible imitation of a feminine voice.

"Yew sorry excuses for exorcists need to work while I drink my beer in my trampy outfit." Rin mocked.

Shima howled in laugher as he flopped on the floor holding his sides. Shiemi giggled away as she watched Rin let another wave flow across his stomach. Koneko laughed to but was a little ashamed to be doing so while Bon just smirked and tried not to look amused. Izumo however had look of disgust and furrowed her brows as she watched Rin's foolish acts.

"Shouldn't you all be studying?" Yukio asked sternly. "I'd think that I gave enough home work to you all to keep you busy."

"Come on Yukio! You need to pull your panties out of your ass. Loosen up a little." Rin hopped off the table and walked to Yukio. He lifted his shirt again and made kissy noises with the ugly face and walked closer. Yukio looked quite unamused.

Suddenly everyone stopped laughing. Rin turned to see what caused the laughter to quickly recede, and stopped dead in his tracks. Shura was standing in the doorway with a very irritated look on her face. How long had she been standing there?! She glanced up and down from Rin's face to his stomach.

"What do yew think yew're doin?" Shura asked with an evil look in her eye.

Rin rolled his eyes and started "Well we were ju-" before he could finish, Shura dashed towards him and caught him in a headlock.

"Don't think yew can get away with something like this!" Shura yelled with a vain popping out on her forehead. "I think it's time to teach you a lesson Rin." Shura said with an evil smile. "Hey Yukio, do I have permission to take Rin out of class?"

Yukio stood for a second with his glasses glarring and showed a small devious smile. "By all means."

All color had drained from Rin's face. "Wait-" Shura pulled Rin away by his ear.

"Nooooo! Someone help me damn it!" Rin screamed as he was dragged away. Everyone got a good laugh out of this. Even Yukio took a second to let the laughter leave his system.

Yukio awoke to the sound of loud knocking on his door. He realized he had been dreaming when he fell asleep at his desk last night. When the door continued to obnoxiously knock he adjusted his glasses and stood up to stretch. Glancing around the room, he sighed. It was a bland and empty room meant for only one person to live in it. He didn't decorate it much because he hardly spent time there since he was always on missions or teaching at the academy.

Someone knocked again, but this time a little louder. "Oi, Yukio, are you awake yet?" The voice sounded muffled through the door.

Yukio let out a big exhausted sigh and walked to the door before he opened it. It creaked as it opened, and reminded him that he really needed to get it fixed. When he looked up, he wasn't surprised to find Shima at the door in his T-shirt and boxers.

"Hey sorry, I was wondering if you had any toothpaste I could use. I kinda dropped mine in the toilet." Shima said with a sheepish grin.

Yukio rubbed his eyes behind his glasses and let out another sigh. He was never a morning person. Shima saw a deadly look of 'Why are you bothering me so early' on Yukio's face, and decided to walk away. Yukio slammed the door behind him, not wanting to deal with Shima so early in the morning.

Yukio currently lived in the boys' dorm along with Konekomaru, Suguro, and Shima.

Its been like this for two years...

Yukio quickly brushed his teeth and dressed into his teacher's uniform before he walked out of his room. Down stairs he grabbed his lunch that was made by the regular Human chef of the boy's dorm and took out his key. He placed it into the nearest door, and with a twist of his wrist, the door opened straight to an outdoor courtyard of True Cross academy. He placed the key back in his pocket and stepped through without a word.

Yukio walked slowly, thinking about how he had once again dreamt about Rin. They were always good dreams about the times before anyone found out that Rin was the half demon son of Satan himself. When they all found out about who Rin really was, everything went downhill.

Two years ago, during the summer camping trip with the exwires group, Rin had lost control of his flames and went on a rampage against Amaimon. Before Rin could cause any more damage, the True Cross exorcist officials came to get him under control. After the incident the other exwires kept their distance from Rin in fear and hatred. Even Yukio had kept his distance because to be honest he was a little frightened too. He had never seen his brother so...wild.

Bon and Koneko had called him Demon or Satan's spawn while Shiemi stopped talking to Rin and quivered whenever he would pass or look at her. Even the people that Rin thought wouldn't be affected treated him differently. To his dismay, Izumo kept her distance and only watched as Bon and Koneko started to insult him. Even Shima was reduced to disproving glances.

Class became hell for Rin as he was constantly bantered with the ruthless, hateful comments from his classmates.

"Why do we have to share a room with that demon!"

"I can smell his filthy demon blood from here."

"He's gonna kill us! Yukio, why do you let wild things in your classroom? What a joke..."

Though this went on in his class, Yukio did little to stop it and turned a blind eye to the awful acts towards his brother. They all didn't even paused to see the true hurt in Rin's eyes or the way he opened and closed his mouth, as if he wanted to apologize in some way.

They were all too blinded by hatred and fear for someone they had forgotten to be their friend.

Day after day they would leave him so that he would walk and eat alone. Eventually, Rin had learned to entirely space himself away from the others to avoid hateful glares and terrified glances. He would sit in the far corner of the classroom where no one would bother him, and would be the last to leave so that no one would be there to glare at his back when he left.

Rin's once bright eyes were now dulling and he always seemed to be looking away at nothing.

One day Rin had not shown up for class, and they had not cared. Koneko had even commented, "At least we can have a regular class without That Demon." Days went past and he had still not shown up, not even in his dorm. Yukio began to worry, and though reluctant, the others began to feel a tinge of fear.

Yukio had gone to ask Mephisto if he knew anything on Rin's whereabouts. When he had asked, Mephisto had gotten a confused look on his face. "He's not in school? Well well Yukio, you finally lost track of you older brother, huh?" he said with a curious grin.

Yukio had also asked Shura. She had be aware of his disappearance too, and was also searching for him. She had gone to the head Exorcists and asked them too but they all gave the same answers, (Haven't seen him.) (No, but I have noticed his absence) (You want me to help look?) A week later without any results, Exorcists went out on a search for him in vain. They came up empty handed. Yukio even went back to their home town to look, but there were no traces of Rin anywhere.

The exwires all began to worry. They also started to feel guilty as they thought their actions towards him most likely caused his disappearance.

Weeks turned into months with no sign, nor any trace of Rin. The exwires all felt remorseful and empty without their once boisterous friend. Yes, they had all finally realized he was still their friend. But it was too late.

They were all aware of their terrible behavior and they all regretted it. It changed nothing though. They couldn't turn back time, and couldn't fix their doings. They couldn't go back and hold their tongues. They could've just accepted Rin for who he was, but instead they bullied and ignored him for something he could not control.

However, Koneko felt the most guilty about insulting Rin the way he did. Over time he had realized that what he said was totally unacceptable. He realized that Rin couldn't help it if he was the son of Satan and that he had tried his hardest to fit in. He had only released his demon side in the action of protecting them from danger.

Four months turned into nine and they all soon stopped searching for Rin, and left it to the head exorcists to find him. It wasn't like they didn't want to find him. They had fallen behind in class and needed to get back if they ever wanted to pass the exorcist exams. But they hated not searching for him.

It was like Rin had just totally disappeared from the world. Without goodbyes. Without a single friend. Without the strength he needed.

They trusted that the other exorcists would find him and bring him safely back. It had given them some hope that they would be reunited with their friend and give their sincere apologies...but they were all soon crushed and pushed further into despair.

Two Head exorcists came in a few days after they returned to resume classes and interrupted Yukio's Demon History lesson. The elder spoke in an official tone.

"As you all know, Okumura Rin has disappeared without a trace ten months ago." He cleared his throat and continued. "The Exorcist head council has come to the conclusion that the search will officially be put down." He looked around and sighed like he didn't want to be there. "We regret to have to tell you such news." He glanced around the room and coughed. With that they turned and left.

Yukio had stood abruptly from his desk with an expression of despair. They had actually given up. Everyone in the room gave looks of horror. Shiemi took the news the hardest and began to sob on the floor with her face cupped in her hands. There was no hope for finding Rin now and telling him how sorry they were. Shima looked away hiding his eyes. Koneko looked down in shame. Izumo gave an expression somewhere between anger and confusion. Bon stood stock still eyes wide in denial of the situation.

Time seemed to slow down then on. A Christmas passed and Yukio spent his 16th birthday without his brother. As another year passed things got back on track. Everyone was able to laugh again and have a good time, but there was always and empty spot where Rin was.

Yukio took more time to accept that his brother would never return, and that he will never see his smiling face again. He realized he had failed to protect him, but the exwires all made sure to help Yukio get through it. Soon after a while, Yukio was able to smile and laugh again like he used to. Things were back on track and the exwires excelled in learning their History on Demons, and how to successfully exercise and track demons.

A few months ago Rin's familiar "Kuro" finally found out that Rin wasn't coming back and had a break down. It was basically like the mourning for Shiro, but ten times worse. He ran amuck through Rin and Yukio's dorm, knocking down walls as he transformed into his true form. No one could understand him or comfort him as he dealt with one of his most difficult times. Yukio had personally tried to calm him down, and even tried the catnip wine that Shiro had left him. Kuro refused to listen and lashed out at Yukio. As the campus was starting to take too much damage from the mourning familiar, they had to use demon tranquilizers to take him down. As they shot him down he screamed and cried out.

"RIN…..RIN! YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME RIN! YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME LIKE SHIRO…" he cried. Kuro looked around waiting for Rin to come and save him, but in the back of his head he knew no one was coming to save him. "Please...just don't leave me...I don't want to be alone again..." He sobbed as he fell sleep and laid still.

The dorms were totally destroyed by Kuro's rampage, and Yukio no longer had other roommate, so he moved into the official Boy's dormitories with Bon, Shima, and Koneko.

As for Kuro, he is now currently in one of True Cross's demon holding cells under a demon seal that causes him to slumber. It's heart breaking to know that Kuro is abandoned like he was two years ago...

Yukio came out of his daze as he entered the classroom where everyone was waiting. He took a longer time than he thought because he was lost in thought.

"Oi, Yukio, you're kind of late." Shima said while giggling, and fell backwards as Yukio threw a piece of chalk at his head. Shima had barely changed in the two years. He still had short pink hair, but he wore a purple bandana around his head. The only real difference was that he was an inch or two taller.

Konekomaru however, had a growth spurt and was nearly 5 inches taller, but he still had his signature buzz cut. He no longer wore glasses and had replaced them with contacts because he was afraid that he would lose them during a mission.

Izumo cut her hair shoulder length, but had hardly grown and inch and was still pretty petite. She wore gloves that had demon summoning circles on them and her normal skirt, shirt and bow around the collar. Though she still had her stubborn look, she had softened up alittle over the years.

Bon's muscle tone was still thick and his hair was shorter and easier to maintain, but it still had the blonde streak running through it. His piercings were replaced by a single silver cuff earring that gave off a pure vibe.

Shiemi looked as if she had matured. She stood taller, stronger and she had grown her hair out long reaching down to her lower back. The top part of her hair was pulled up with a pink bow as the rest draped below.

Yukio had barely changed at all over the two years and only grew an inch or two. He didn't really change his look because he liked to keep it simple.

Yukio still remained the exwires Anti-Demon Pharmacology teacher and Shura was still their Demon hunting teacher. The young exwires always assisted the upper exorcists on many missions but they had never gotten their very own mission. Part of the problem was that they had no teacher that would each them the art of weapons or fighting. Only a few such as Shima and Izumo had ready weapons to use, but Exorcists all needed to be trained in the art of martial arts and weaponry as a backup. They all thought about having Shura be their teacher, but she didn't have the time to give them two lessons a day. She is always away on missions in her free time.

The exwires finished their notes as Yukio finished his lesson on the Demons of Goryon and Shura came in to take over. She planned on teaching them how to track an invisible demon using a potion derived from dragon spit, and dried hibiscus. Half way into the lesson, one of the most elite head members entered the classroom.

He was an older fellow who looked like he had a shadow of youth. Long blonde locks were pulled back into a loose pony tail and he wore a white suit with a sword latched to his side. His dark blue eyes shifted around the room. He was none other than Arthur Angel, True Crosses Paladin. Everyone glanced at each other wondering what was up.

Before he could speak, Shura spoke up. "Why are yew interrupting my class?"

Angel looked at her in disgust. "I'm here to bring important news." He paused and continued. "As you all know, we have been in need of a new Self Defense teacher." Angel informed.

Yukio looked up from the book he was reading, interested in finding out who the new teacher was. He put down his book and walked over next to Shura and all eyes were on Angel.

"I'm here to introduce you to our newest teacher." Looking out the door, he motioned for the newest teacher to come in.

There was a pause, and the person came in.

Everyone in the room froze. Wide eyed they gaped at the familiar figure that came in. "You all know him, but it is still my duty to introduce you. This is Okumura Rin, from today onward he will be your new Self Defense teacher."

Yukio stumbled and knocked a coffee mug off the desk. The loud crash didn't seem to catch everyone's attention as they all just stared speechless at the figure who just walked in.

Rin looked different as he wore the long True Cross uniform coat, and leather boots. A silver chain dangled from the side of the coat and clinked as he walked to the center of the room. He wore a silver cross earring on his left ear that seemed to give off an eerie glow. Kurikara was strapped to his side like a samurai sword and he stood as tall as Yukio; his dark blue hair grew longer and flipped across his face. He had steely, cold eyes that matched his stoic face, and remained with an unemotional look. He looked more mature, but the type of mature reached through pain and experience.

They all barely even recognized the changed person in front of their faces.

A/N: I tried to make Rin look like a total hotty. ;D
