[Dodging it, can't remember, or maybe just thrown off and reeling from the revelation that his secret is apparently common knowledge now. He's stalling and scrambling. He needs a plan.
Yukio knows what was happening in his life, smashed laptops and frustrating weakness and everything spiraling apart, but he needs to try to figure out the last thing Shura would have known. The last thing they both would have known. But, "calling you back from Kyoto"...
The wedding? Or later? How much later is she from? Hours? Months? It can't be months, not if his arm was still broken, unless he went to Kyoto with a broken arm again later.
Days. If he's lucky he has days before everything comes to light, before everyone knows and all the pieces start moving and he sees if his plan works, if he actually has a plan, if he can adjust and adapt and get out with what he needs to be stronger, to surpass the barriers in front of him.
Mephisto must know. He'll have to corner the demon, and soon, before the power in his eyes breaks out and the Order locks him up. And if he can't get answers from the headmaster... well, Lucifer made him an offer (too close, a hand on his face and something staring deep into the something in his eyes), and the Illuminati is evil, pure evil, but he needs to be stronger, he needs more power than he has, and he'll do it, he'll sink to their level because (ha) isn't he almost there already? He doesn't have far to fall.
He's shaking, grabbing one wrist with his opposite hand to try and stop the full-body trembling that's tied in to his racing thoughts.

Y-yes. [He manages, too little and too late.]
