I finish my normal classes and head down to cram school, when Rin trots up beside me. "Hey Amare! Ready for cram school?" I shrug.
"Yeah, I guess" he nudges me, and laughs.
"Don't worry, your secret is safe." I smile and we make our way to the long hallway. "This is our class, just wait here until Yukio calls you in." I nod and slide down the wall, to wait.

A few minutes pas and Yukio opens the door to wave me in. It's a small class, and the second I walk in Rin's face is plastered with a huge grin as he waves at me.

I stand at the front and look out at the few students, "Hi, my name is Amare Ukato, and I'm fifteen. I hope I can get to know some of you, and learn to fight alongside you." This kid with a head of pink hair suddenly jumps up and dumbs skunks out of the chair next to him. "There's an empty seat here Mr. Okumura!" Yukio glares at him and short cake immediately hits back down, while the guy he pushed hits him on the back of the head. I make my way next to Rin, probably one of the only approachable one with an open seat.

Half way through class, this busty woman, wearing nearly nothing, comes busting into the classroom. "Okumura, a word please." She says grabbing his arm and pulling him out.

Short cake takes this as an opportunity to approach me, "Hey, name's Shima. Remember it well, cause you'll be screaming it tonight."
"The only one screaming your name will be the nurse trying to revive you if you try anything." I retort, and Rin starts laughing uncontrollably. Shima slumps back to his seat defeated, and I smirk, normally those things come to me later.

Yukio walks back into the room with a flat face, and everyone sits silently, waiting for him to speak. He sits behind his desk and looks over a few papers the lady must have handed him. "Amare, would you mind going outside to talk to Shura for a bit?" I nod slowly, and make my way outside of the classroom.

I soon as I shut the door, the woman I assume is Shura steps in front of me. "Don't worry, you aren't in trouble, I just need to talk with you about the forms you filled out." I nod and she brings me into an empty class farther down the hall. "First off, you didn't really fill out all of the forms, so I'll do them with you. What type of exorcist do you want to be?"
"I... Um... I don't really know."
"I figured that might be it. We'll go through a few different types to find which one suits you best."

She pulls a bible out from one of the cabinets, and sits down with it on her lap. I follow her lead and sit in front of her while she flips through the pages. "Here we go! Let's test how well you memorize things." She hands the bible to me and points to a passage. "Read this aloud, then close the bible and repeat it."
"My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me;
the one whose walk is blameless will minister to me. No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence." I close the book and think a moment, "My eyes will be on something... Dwell in me... Something about my house... I have no clue."

"Well, that answers that question... How are you with a gun?"
"I've never held one..." I admit. She pulls a rifle from the wall, "here, they're relatively easy to shoot. If you have any future as a dragoon, this will tell us. Aim at the target on the far end and pull the trigger." I take the gun and put the butt firmly against my shoulder and look down the end to the target. I aim and shoot the target... Only to here a resounding thud as it dents the metal wall beside it.

"Okay, you want to try healing people?"
"... Not really..." I confess, "I'm usually the one inflicting injury, I don't think I'd be good at fixing it."

Shura nods, "You're running me out of options kid, how good are you with a sword?" I shrug, "of course not, one sec." She goes over to the other end of the room and pulls out a wooden training sword. She tosses it to me, and I catch the end in my hand. "Well, you've got good reflexes at least." She pulled out another wood sword, "alright, come at me kid."

I've never held a sword before, but I assume you wield it like a long knife. I hold it firmly in my right hand and step my left foot back. I suddenly spring forward and swipe my sword to the side, she blocks, and the fight is on. It's constant back and forth, but I suddenly forget the length of a sword verses my knife, and go in too close. Shura takes the opportunity and hits my side with the wood.

"You're pretty good, but you kept getting too close... Do you use that knife for fighting?" She asks gesturing the blade at my side.
"Yeah, my dad taught me."
"You could probably use that. Mind if I see it?" I stop. If she opens it my wings will sprout from my back.
"I'd ... Uh... Rather not..."

Shura takes this as a challenge, and lunges at my waist. I try to block, but she tackles me down, her large breasts against my hips. She reaches for it, and a squirm so the handle is just out of reach. "Geez, you're more protective of your blade than Rin is with his, he should get some lessons from you." She said with a laugh as she reaches and undoes the belt that holds it against me. She gives a yell of triumph and pulls the belt, hitting the piece that holds it against the belt loop. The knife comes off, and falls to the floor. I reach for it quickly and shove it into my bra, I laugh in triumph, no one would go that far.

Shura stands and holds my belt up. "Now I'm curious, I'm going to see it one way or the other." Next thing I know, she's at my side with her hand up my shirt. I shriek and fall backwards  pulling her down with me. This chick is absolutely crazy!

Finally she finds what she's looking for and pulls it out. She turns it over in her hand, "it's beautiful."
"Thanks, can I have it back?"
"Feisty feisty," she taunts running her fingers down the sheath. My breath catches in my throat, I can't have her see my wings, I can't.

We are interrupted when the doors fly open, "are you guys okay?" Yukio calls from the door. Surprised, Shura drops my knife, and I dash and scoop my knife a belt up. "Awww, Yukio! You made me loose focus, know I can't see her knife!" Shura whines. Yukio rolls his eyes, "Whatever, just keep it down."

Shura sighs, "Alright, last one. Do you know what a tamer is?"
"Um. No..."
"Alright, a tamer is someone who can summon demons to fight for them." She goes over and grams a box full of small square sheets of paper, and hands be one. "Mark it with your blood and say whatever words come to mind." I suddenly get a great idea. I mark the sheet in my blood and call out, "umbra vitae" summoning a shadow cat to my side. "Well done!" Shura exclaims, "I'll mark tamer and knight on your sheet, okay?" I nod and smile, extremely happy my trick worked, now I could summon shadow creatures instead of having to draw my blade.

As Shura and I walk back to class, the shadow, having not received any orders, trots alongside me. "I'll see what your blade looks like, don't think I've given up." Shura smirks. I turn away nervously and she wraps an arm around my shoulder. "Don't worry about it." I turn back and she smiles.

She opens the class room, "Bye Amare! She calls pushing me inside and re-shutting the door. "Amare! You're back." Rin calls to me.
"So Amare, care to tell us what weapon type your chosen?" Yukio asks.
"Oh, I choose knight and tamer." I say picking up the little shadow cat.
"Cool!" Rin says, "another knight! You can train with Shura and I!" Oh great...
