Author's note at the bottom


Disclaimer: I do not own (Blue / Ao no) Exorcist.

The idea for this story came from a guest reviewer


This is set between the Kyoto arc and the 7 Mysteries of True Cross


"Are we there yet?" Rin complained, for nearly the 23rd time that trip.

"No, Nii-san, we still are not there yet." replied his brother, who was very much done with his twin's whining.

"Okumura-sensei, the demon we are supposed to exorcise, what was it again?" asked Konekomaru, who was sitting two seats behind Yukio. Yukio, who was glad to have a distraction from the whining brother to his right, answered

"We believe it's a Culpa* demon" he said

"Culpa demon?"

"It's a demon that feeds off guilt. It usually appears to you as someone or something you feel guilty about, and tries to make your guilt even worse. It feeds off of this guilt and, if you feel badly enough, can actually consume your soul" explained Yukio "we are stopping by a nearby cemetary, where it has been spotted, so we can exorcise it"

"What cemetary is it?" asked Sheimi. The whole bus, which contained all the Exwires and Yukio, was listening to the conversation.

"The one by the Southern Cross Boys' Monestary" Yukio replied. Rin turned to Yukio, mouth wide open.

"Wait, what? You never said we were stopping home!" he yelled.

"Home?" asked Sheimi, mildly lost. She was ignored.

"Actually, I did. Twice." Yukio deadpanned**.

"But-"

"You just weren't listening"

"What do you mean 'home'?" Sheimi asked again. Yukio turned to face her.

"Nii-san and I grew up there" he said.

"You guys grew up in a monestary?" Ryuji joined in the conversation

"Yeah, why?" Rin asked

"Well, with you bein' the Son of-... Well, I would think someone raised in a monestary would be more, I dunno, cultured?" Ryuji replied. If anyone heard what he had been about to say, they didn't let on.

"What's that supposed to mean, 'cultured'?" Rin asked

"It means you're an idiot" Yukio said

"You guys are so mean!" Rin yelled, faking to be offended. Everyone laughed, and the bus ride went back to relative silence for the next few minutes, everyone having their own conversations.

"Hey, um, Yukio?" Rin asked, turning away from the window he had been looking out of before

"Yes?"

"Are we there yet?"

"No"


*"Culpa" is "guilt" in Latin. Culpa demon isn't a real thing, I just made up a demon name using guilt in another language and thought it sounded cool. Just figured it was worth mentioning...

**did I use that word right?

***I wasn't sure if I should call him Bon, Ryuji or Suguro, but I decided on Ryuji
