Meet and Greet

4,000 reads!!! O can't believe this! You are all so amazing, thanks for sticking with me. Luckily school is out and I just finished volunteering at a theater camp, so I should be able to update much more often. Please don't forget to comment, I love reading them :)

I come back into the main room, and toss Shura a can of beer and set my glass of water on the table.  "So, dad, you remember that kid from the priest's funeral? Well it turns out he's not human, not fully anyway. So when I saw his tail and asked about it, he seemed surprised that I could see it and took me to his twin brother who teaches a special class here. Long story short I got roped into an beginner exorcism cram school."
"Are you kidding me Amare?! I told you to lay low with the Vatican, so what do you do? You join them! "
"Yeah that's not the worst part..."
"Amare you didn't..."
"I didn't come right out and say it, but Rin and his brother Yukio found out, and I had to show Shura, bu-"
"What am I going to do with you... How many people, in total, know?"
"Uh..." I start to count on my fingers when Shura cuts me off,
"Sir, I don't mean to be rude, but Mar didn't want to tell anyone. Human wise however there are about 6 including myself, plus the two half demons, which makes 8."
"What the hell have you been up to Amare?!"

I take a sip of my water and look down at the floor, "well, I went up to heaven and met the 12 archangels, I'm now being trained by one of them in combat, and Gehenna is probably out to get me."
"I shouldn't have let you go to school away from home,I knew it was a bad idea."
"No! I really love it here! Sure it's been tough, but I have friends here, I have a girlfriend, I'm getting stronger. My life couldn't have been a simple one, not with my heritage. But at least here, I get to enjoy it. And I am enjoying it, for the most part, because I'm with people who even though I'm not family, treat me like I am." Shura grabs me in her arms and holds me close. My dad just closes his eyes and sighs, "I guess you're right, I was wrong to think I could baby you and keep you safe forever. I'm not strong like you are, I'm 100% human, to think I would be able to protect you was stupid of me."
"Dad you have protected me. You've kept me safe for 15 years. I couldn't ask for a better father."

Shura nudged me softly, " I don't mean to interrupt Mar, but cram school starts pretty soon, so we've got to get going. It was great meeting you Mr. Ukato."
Sura stands, and pulls me to my feet.
"The exorcism class right? Do you think anyone would mind if I tagged along? I'd like a hint as to what you're doing."
"Meh, that's not my call to make. But you can ask Yukio, ol' four eyes is the one in charge of the class."
"Come on dad, I'll introduce you."

*******

I open the door to the class room, and Yukio is sitting bored at his desk casually flipping through a book.
"Uh, Mr. Okumura?"
"You're early Amare, please wait outside."
"But I need to talk to you."
He raises his eyes from his book and notices my father behind me.
"Ah, come in then."
"Yukio this is my father, dad this is one of my exorcism teaches, Yukio Okumura."
Yukio stands and offers his hand, "nice to meet you sir."
"Same to you. Now about my daughter, you know about your situation, so why have you not contacted the Vatican?"
"To be honest with you I'm not fully sure. Some of it has to do with my brother, but it's also because she's done nothing wrong."
"What about your brother?"
"Well, he was in a worse spot than Amare, really he still is. I guess I don't want anyone else to be tormented like he was. Being the son of Satan means shoot first ask questions never."
"Satan? What a father. Nevertheless Thank you."

Yukio nods his head, and turns his attention back to his desk, "Go ahead and get ready for class Amare. The class has chosen to trust you, and you'll be showing us your full capabilities today. In return they will present you with their abilities so you can all grow closer as a team." I nod and sit at my seat before pulling off the hood of my jacket and letting my tail hang free of its restraints. Shura leads my dad to sit in one of the back tables, whispering something I can't hear.

After a minute or the of silence the rest of the class files into their seats. Rin's face lights up when he sees me and he quickly takes his normal seat next to me. I see the occasional glance to my horns and tail which is swinging behind me leisurely. They aren't mean however, instead the looks appear to be out of curiosity more than anything else. The whole room is filled with a tense quiet, that only strengthens as Yukio stands at the podium. "Alright class, as we discussed earlier, let's all head to the training stadium."
