YukiShura

YukiShura is the het ship between Yukio Okumura and Shura Kirigakure from the Blue Exorcist fandom.

Canon
Both Yukio and Shura had found themselves in the care of Shiro Fujimoto who raised and trained them separately, due to Shiro placing Shura in the care of nuns moments before Yukio was born and placed in Shiro's care, along side Yukio's older twin brother. When Yukio agreed to become an exorcist at a young age, Shiro introduces him to Shura when he attended Cram School and asked Shura to watch out for him, which she wasn't happy about. As Yukio became more confident and braver, he and Shura became rivals who aren't fond of each other, with Shura being out going while Yukio is serious and hates losing to Shura when they challenge one another in the training room. After Yukio became the youngest exorcist to graduate, he and Shura crossed paths with one another while acting professional in the public eye. One day Shura told Yukio the reason Shiro raised him and his older twin brother, which angered Yukio to learn that he is the human son of Satan and that the Vatican wants him and Rin to be their weapons against the Demon God. As both Yukio and Shura work their ways up the ranks, Shura became an Inspector for the Vatican.

Around the time Yukio became a Cram School teacher, who replaces Shiro after his death, Shura infiltrated Yukio's class at True Cross Academy, as first as a student under the name of Yamada, to keep an eye on Yukio's demonic older brother. It is unknown if Yukio truly knew that Yamada was Shura all along before she reveals her true identity to him. After Shura decides to delay her report about Yukio's brother to the Vatican, she became a fellow Cram School teacher. Which allows her to accompany Yukio in the Exwires' training camping trip in the woods, Yukio wasn't fund about the idea but he kept his options to himself and left her in charge of the female students, who Shura left all the work to. After dinner Shura got drunk and just as Yukio about to say Shura's true age really is, she threw her beer can at his head and actioned like it was an accident. Yukio tells Shura to knock it off, before turning his attention back to their students.

The moment that the two saw light from Rin's flame from the camp sight, Yukio and Shura talk about Rin's demonic powers and how they can't hide Rin's connection to Satan for much longer. Yukio wasn't about Shura's words towards Rin and gets on at her for it, before he asks Shura what her true attentions are. Shura reassures Yukio that she isn't planning to sell his brother out to the Vatican and that Shiro had asked her to train Rin how to use a sword. Just as Yukio had promised Shiro that he'll look out for Rin. Which gives the two exorcists a common link between the same two people. Before the rest of their students returned with their demon possessed stone lanterns, Yukio had went into the woods to fight a swarm of Chuchi demons while Shura stayed at the camp sight, to keep an out on the students when Amaimon attacks them. Because of the Chuchis and Amaimon's Behemoth keeping both Yukio and Shura busy on their ends, they weren't able to stop Rin from revealing himself as Satan's son. As Rin continues to fight Amaimon, the exorcists got the rest of the students to safety, until Mephisto Pheles ended the fight.

The next day Yukio and Shura meet up at headquarters' training room that they spent a lot of time in together during Yukio's own student days at Cram School. As they leave Rin to the flame control training, that Shure set up for him, she and Yukio decide to challenge each other in the batting cages, while talking about Mephisto and the game he is probably playing with them, until Rin's flames accidently burns the cages and their clothing without hurting the two. Before they got Rin to put the blue colored flames out, Shura takes his shirt while Yukio takes his pants. Until they get a call about exorcist work that the two were needed for, Yukio and Shura leave to get themselves changed into their won clothes, before they tend to the matter. After they got on the scene and took care of the matter on their separate ends, Yukio gets sent on a mission to find the stole demon eye while Shura looks after his class and brother.

Fanon
YukiShura is one of the main het ships involving the two in the Blue Exorcist fandom, as well as it commonly being rivalled with YukiShi and shipped beside RinShi. Fans of the ship believe that Yukio and Shura should end up together from them knowing each other for a long time, as well as the two showing hidden, unconscious signs of attraction for one another. Similar reasons have told been said about YukiShi. Even though Yukio and Shura have at times acted like siblings that get on with each other. From how Shura is out going and tends to tease Yukio for being uptight and takes things seriously. The two acting like siblings could be one of the reasons why a few AUs in the Blue Exorcist fandom have Shura being raised beside Yukio and his older brother. The popularity of the ship grew after the events of the Aomori arc, when Yukio made a fake deal in order to free Shura from Hchiro's hold on her and later tells Shura that her new hair cut makes her look nice.
