~~~~~Yukio's POV~~~~~
Mephisto is taking me to a possible new student's house to discuss their enrollment. I don't know who they could be that would make them important enough for the director to come to their home. In America no less. He hasn't told me a single thing about this person. All I know is that I'm supposed to do whatever I can to convince their parents to let them attend.
I stand behind Mephisto as he rings the doorbell and we're greeted by a woman who seems to be in her early twenties.
"Hi, I'm Johann Faust the fifth, director of True Cross Academy. I'm here to discuss Miss (Y/N) (L/N)'s enrollment in our program."
"Uh, hi, um, I don't really know what you're talking about."
"Ah, you see, (Y/N) sent in an application during November to apply to attend our school this fall. I know it's a little early to discuss these matters as the school year has only just ended, but we would very much like to have (Y/N) in attendance next semester."
"You can come in. Uh, just sit right here, I'm just going to get (Y/N) and my mom."
"Thank you..."
"(S/N)."
"Ah, yes, thank you, (S/N)."
I let out a sigh of relief as I assume (Y/N)'s sister leaves. There's something that's bothering me though.
"Mephisto, why do you need me here for this?"
"Mrs.(L/N) is tough to convince. I was informed of this in (Y/N)'s letter. They wanted to be sure they got in before trying to convince their mother to let them go."
"Couldn't you have just sent an email?"
"I'm not taking any chances, (Y/N) will be an important student."
"That brings me to my second question, why-"
"Sorry that took so long, this is my mother (M/N) and my sister (Y/N)."
My draw drops a bit when (Y/N) walks into the room. I wasn't expecting a girl, let alone one this attractive.
"It's no problem, hello Mrs.(L/N), I'm Johann Faust."
"It's nice to meet you, call me (M/N)."
Mrs.(L/N) turns to me as if just realizing I'm there and I figure I should introduce myself.
"H-hi, ahem, hi, I'm Yukio Okumura, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Damn it! Why did my voice have to crack? I've just met this girl and she's already laughing at me. Her laugh is really nice though.
"(M/N), I'm assuming you've been filled in as to why we've made this visit?"
"Yes, you want to enroll my daughter in your school."
"Correct, (Y/N) has been hand-selected from thousands of applicants by myself to attend True Cross Academy."
"If I may ask, where is this school?"
"True Cross Campus Town in Tokyo."
"As in Tokyo Japan?"
"Yes."
"I'm sorry Mr.Faust, but I can't afford to send my daughter to a boarding school in another country."
"No need to worry. Although she may not seem like the best candidate, (Y/N) has earned a full scholarship including free room and board."
"I can't send my daughter to a foreign country to go to a school I know nothing about."
"This is why I have brought young Mr.Okumura. You see, he's the first-year class representative. He has achieved the highest grades and test scores in his class, and has also been awarded a full scholarship. Mr.Okumura, if you would tell Mrs.(L/N) about True Cross."
"Well, first off, True Cross Academy is for the best of the best. It employs the world's top teachers, counselors, and chefs. All graduating students find work within their desired field in the two years following graduation. We are highly funded in all subjects and we have an extensive amount of extracurricular activities. True Cross Academy has many of the highest scoring students in the world, and is ranked as one of the world's top ten schools."
"That sounds wonderful, but (Y/N) has many food restrictions."
"We have a meal plan that is entirely customizable. You could design every one of her meals if you'd like."
"We prioritize faith in this household, and I want my daughter to continue her religious studies."
"That's no problem. True Cross Academy is run by The True Cross order. We have a number of churches and temples on campus that we encourage students to visit on a regular basis."
"(Y/N) has a strict schedule she has to follow for medication."
"We've already informed the school's nurse who will make sure she takes her medicine on time."
"I-I guess I see no reason she can't attend."
"Wonderful! I expect that Miss (Y/N) will arrive a week before classes begin to get herself situated in her new environment and if you'd like I could have Mr.Okumura show her around campus."
"I'd really appreciate that Mr.Faust. Thank you."
"It's no problem, I'll send you all the necessary paperwork through the mail. It's been a pleasure."
"Goodbye Mr.Faust."
As the door closes I breathe an audible sigh of relief. That woman has a stare that could rival that of a reaper.
"Why did you need me here? You would have done just fine on your own."
"You are a prime example of those we allow to attend True Cross Academy. You being here assures Mrs.(L/N) that (Y/N) will be surrounded by exceptional individuals. It's also nice for her to meet the student who will be helping to take care of her daughter while she's away."
"Why did we have to come all the way to America for one student? What makes her so special?"
"You'll see soon enough Mr.Okumura."
~~~~~(Y/N) POV~~~~~
As soon as the door closes, I know I'm in trouble.
"(F/N) (M/N) (L/N), why didn't you tell me you were applying to a school in Japan?!"
"Well, I didn't think I was even going to be considered in the first place, so I figured I shouldn't bother you about my application unless I somehow got in."
Truthfully, I knew she'd discourage me from going. My mother loves to micromanage my life. I knew I was getting into True Cross Academy. I had a recommendation from my dad. He was good friends with Mephisto, so he knows my situation. My dad was a demon, he never told my mom, and the only reason I know is that he knew a small child running around with demonic powers in a Catholic household isn't going to end well.
"Didn't you think telling me you got in was important? Instead, you made that nice man come all the way here to tell me himself."
"I didn't know until you did. I wasn't given any indication that I even got in, let alone that I was given a full scholarship."
Again, not really the truth. I've been emailing Mephisto since November. I just knew I'd never be able to convince my mother to let me go to a foreign country alone, but my mom is more easily swayed by people in authority. The kid with the glasses was a good move too. He just looked so put together. Mom will see him as a good influence on me.
"Sigh, well I guess we have to get you ready to go to Japan. Do you even speak any Japanese?"
"I'm fluent, actually. I took some free online courses, and dad had been teaching me since I was born."
"What else have you been keeping from me?"
"Just that. It was actually dad's idea for me to apply there. It's where he went to school, and he thought it would be a good fit for me."
"God bless your father. He was such a good man...Anyway, let's go shopping to get you some luggage and supplies to live abroad tomorrow. Sound good?"
"Yeah mom, thank you."
"You're welcome (Y/N). Go call all your friends and tell them you'll be going to school. I'll call the family."
"Okay, mom."
I don't really have anyone to call. I only talk to people when I need to, so there aren't exactly any strong bonds. I've been planning on leaving the country my whole life. Before my father died, he was very close friends with Mephisto, or Samael, the King of Time.
My father was called (D/N) (L/N) on Earth, but his true name was Belial, one of the high kings of Gehenna. I speak about him in the past tense, but that's because we're not likely to see each other for an extraordinary amount of time, if ever. He had to return to rule over his legions.
My father isn't the only reason Mephy is helping me get to true cross, it's also because of my mother. What she doesn't know is that my grandfather was an angel, making her only half-human. This is why she's incredibly religious. The strange thing is, supernatural abilities can be latent or skip generations, so my mother doesn't have any power or knowledge. I, on the other hand, managed to inherit genetics and power from both sides of my family making me a Nephilim, a demon angel hybrid.
I'm the first of my kind. My circumstances are one of a kind. First, an angel and a demon had to fall in love, then they had to conceive, then they had to be able to endure the power of not one of them, but two. Supernatural offspring can't handle the power from one parent most of the time, let alone both.
Due to my heritage, I can't be classified as an angel or a demon, meaning holy water doesn't burn me, and I'm unaffected by holy fire. I gain benefits from both lineages though. My father's DNA allows me to run faster, jump higher, and hit harder than any human, whereas, my grandfather's DNA allows me to be more agile, graceful, and precise. My father's power gives me the ability to control flames and summon demons from his legions. My grandfather is Raphael, so I can heal others, and I can give off a calming and trustworthy aura that makes people very likely to tell me their secrets. I inherited both angel wings and a demon tail from my father and grandfather, but due to my rare circumstances, I am able to repress both my demon side and my angel side. If I completely repress my angel side and not the other, I gain demonic features, if I repress only my demon side, I gain angelic features. This makes it easy for me to blend in with all races. My power can be somewhat tied to my emotions, and because of this, I have taught myself to restrain my feelings when around others. If I get too happy I start glowing and if I get too mad I burst into flames.
Mephy and I agreed that while at True Cross I would only tell people about my angelic heritage because if they knew about the demon part they may become hostile, and I don't need to advertise the fact that I'm the first of my kind. No one has ever really thought about it, let alone think it possible. If anyone else found out about me, they'd either try to recruit me, restrain me, control me, or kill me. I'm not taking any chances.
Both my father and grandfather left me with items to prove my lineage and rank. My grandfather, Raphael, left me a ring with his name and sigil engraved on it made of holy silver from heaven. My father left me with a pendant with his seal made out of a rare dark metal that can only be found in Ghenna and a dark ruby. I hide my father's pendant under my shirt as not to cause suspicion, while I wear my grandfather's ring on my left hand for everyone else to see. It keeps suspicion away from angels and exorcists, while demons assume I wear it to blend in with the angels, which I kinda do.
