Read and review. Or don't. I don't care-.-
Rin stood there in the desert, looking around and shouting everyone's name to see if they were anywhere to be found. When he didn't get a response, he fell to his knees and was close to tears.
"I'm alone... Everyone's gone..."
"You're not alone!"
Rin's head shot up and he started to look around and then spotted a raven haired girl on rollerblades coming up past him.
"You're just in some idiotic dream," she told him.
Rin looked at the girl in confusion. "Who are you?"
She looked at him with goggles covering her eyes. "You'll know soon enough. When the time comes, I'll be waiting for you..." With that said, she road off.
Rin then woke up with a gasp and started panting. This had woken up Yukio and he looked at his twin in concern.
"You okay Rin?" he asked.
Rin ran a hand through his hair. "I just had the weirdest dream... It was about a girl..."
Yukio was surprised. "A girl?"
Rin got up and walked around. "Yeah... She had short, raven hair... Pale skin... She was about a few inches shorter than I was... I never saw her eyes... They were covered..."
"By what?"
"Goggles..."
Yukio chuckled a bit. "I think you should go easy on the Sukiyaki next time..."
Rin looked at his brother before scoffing. "Whatever..." With that, he crawled back into bed and went back to sleep with a grumble.
The next day, Mephisto had announced that the cram school would be throwing a party tonight on behalf of the return of a retired exorcist named Alistaire Ravenwood.
"Who's Alistaire Ravenwood?" Rin asked in curiosity.
"Alistaire Ravenwood was one of the most powerful Paladin who ever lived, so powerful that not even Satan would dare to touch him," Yukio explained in excitement. "Sadly he retired and gave the role of most powerful exorcist to our father. But now they say that he's coming out of retirement and he just moved to Japan!"
Rin could tell that his little brother was very excited to meet this so-called retired exorcist.
"Alistaire Ravenwood is a pretty big deal around the Order," Mephisto said.
Rin jumped back and was in some sort of monkey pose out of shock.
"What the hell! When did you get here!?"
Mephisto chuckled. "I was right next to you the whole time, my dear boy! You just never noticed!"
Rin only became irritated. "Then why don't you warn somebody instead of just popping up like that!?"
"It's more fun to surprise you then inform you!" Rin was about to yell some more, but Mephisto interrupted him. "Not only is Alistaire coming out of retirement, but his lovely niece is here with him, on account of her father's death of course. Such a shame..."
Rin became confused along with Yukio, who asked, "What happened?"
Mephisto sighed sadly. "Poor man died in a car accident. Now the girl is under the care of her dear uncle. It'll probably be very hard since his wife has been deceased for at least three years. The poor girl must be devastated..."
Rin and Yukio looked at each other, sympathizing with a girl they never even knew.
Mephisto then clapped his hands together. "No matter! Time heals all wounds, or so they say at least. Be sure to be in proper clothing for the party! We want Reverand Ravenwoods return to be extravagent!"
With that, Mephisto disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Yukio then smiled. "I hope you have some suits, Rin. Reverand Ravenwoods party is gonna be fun!"
Rin scoffed. "What's so fun about going to a party for some old geezer?"
In an old mansion, music could be heard from the right window, which was open. Inside was a blue room filled with boxes and a boom box. A girl, who looked no older than thirteen, was holding one of the boxes in her arms and was shaking her rump in a circle to the music. She had short raven hair, with the front layers a little longer than the layers in the back; she was pale skinned, and had auburn eyes. The clothes she wore was a blue "Hollister" shirt, and a pair of black pants, which ended a little above the knees. Around her neck was a beautiful rosarie, the cross being made of silver with a clear jewel placed in the center. The rosarie was being held by a black rope that wrapped around her neck and had it hang down to her chest.
The song she was dancing to was "U Can't Touch this" by some guy she could never remember the name of. You could tell, from the tower of boxes in the blue room she was in, that she had just moved into the mansion and was currently trying to unpack, or so we think. She was obviously too distracted by the music to even think about unpacking at the moment.
She suddenly dropped the box and started dancing to the music. She would laugh at some parts of the music, but her fun was soon cut short when she heard a familiar southern accent shout from out her window.
"Mavis, darlin'!"
The girl stopped and went to turn off her boom box.
"Mavis Esther Ravenwood! Come down here and let Mephisto have a good look at you!"
She popped her head out of the window and shouted back, "Coming, Uncle!" She then grabbed a rope on the side of the mansion before climbing out and sliding down onto the rope like a pole.
Mavis Esther Ravenwood, daughter of Malcolm Ravenwood and niece of Reverand Alistaire Ravenwood. Mavis had lived in Alaska with her father for a long time, but since he died in a car accident she was now under the care of her uncle, Alistaire, and the two had moved to Japan for business.
Once Mavis landed on the ground with ease, she went over to Alistaire, who was fifty years old, and his good friend Mephisto, who smiled at her.
"My, my, Mavis," he told her as he hugged her. "You get more gorgeous everytime I see you!"
Mavis rolled her eyes, but she smiled and returned the hug. "Good to see you too, Mephisto."
Mephisto cooed and started stroking her face. "Oh, your voice is lovelier than the last time I heard it! Oh, how I've missed the sound of a sweet bell ringing in my ears! Reverand, your niece has the most beautiful voice!"
Mavis tried to get out of the demon's hold, but failed miserably. Alistaire simply chuckled and pulled her away from Mephisto gently.
"So, Reverand, will Mavis be attending True Cross Academy and the Cram School as planned?" Mephisto asked the reverand.
"No." "Yes."
Both Americans had talked at the same time, Mavis being the one who said no. The girl scowled at her uncle in anger.
"Uncle Alistaire, I don't want to go to the cram school!"
Alistaire frowned in response. "Mavis, what you did at the last school was unacceptable! Do you have any idea how much damage you have caused?"
"I didn't mean to hurt anybody!"
"It doesn't matter, you still did it purposely!"
Mephisto would normally find arguments amusing, but since this was a family matter, he felt very awkward and slightly regreted ever mentioning the topic.
"But, Uncle-"
"Not another word! You are going to the cram school whether you like it or not, is that clear!"
Mavis said nothing as tears started forming in her eyes and ran inside the mansion passed the disciples in anger and sadness. Reverand Ravenwood sighed and squeezed the bridge of his nose. He knew he was being hard on his niece about the situation, but he wasn't lying when he said her actions at the last school she attended back in Alaska was unacceptable. A lot of students had gotten hurt from the damages Mavis had caused, and it had forced him to enroll her in True Cross Academy's Cram School.
Mephisto smiled nervously. "If I may, are you sure the damage at her last school was that bad?"
"Of course, it was, Mephisto. Almost all of the students were sent to the hospital because of her careless behaviour. She's left me no choice..."
"I understand. I'll keep a close eye on her throughout her studies. If she ever causes trouble like that again, I'll have her removed from her high school studies and have her only study in the Cram School."
Alistaire nodded to him. "Thank you, Mephisto..."
Meanwhile, Mavis sat in her room with tears falling from her face. She knew what she did at her old school back in Alaska was wrong, but she couldn't help herself. Her emotions got the better of her at times. She took hold of the silver cross and looked down at the clear jewel, which had started to turn black.
Suddenly, a goblin popped into her room from the open window and jumped up to sit next to the wristband she wore on her right wrist. Mavis simply sighed and scratched the head of the creature before it jumped into her lap and watched her.
She then began speaking to it as she looked up at the cieling. "You know that I don't want to be an exorcist, right, Monty?"
The goblin which she had called "Monty" simply nodded in response to her question.
"My uncle knows that too, right?"
Again, the creature nodded.
"So why the hell is he making enroll to the freaking Cram School then? What was I supposed to do? Let those asshats keep mocking me about how strange I am, or how I'm a freak!?"
At this question, Monty started looking around before jumping out of her lap and going over to a small black chest. He opened it without a problem and grabbed up her bible before strolling over and giving it to her. Mavis then remembered that the bible has scriptures of revenge and retaliation and open it up to read a scripture that might help her.
Proverbs 20:22
Do not say, "I will repay evil"; Wait for the Lord, and He will save you
Mavis sighed after reading the scripture to herself before setting her bible down. How could she forget that verse? She was a proud Christian, but sometimes she would neglect to think of what the bible would say about certain situations such as the incident back in Alaska.
In an attempt to cheer her up, Monty jumped onto her shoulders and nuzzled his face against hers. At this, she chuckled slightly and pet the creature.
"You've always been good to me, Monty," she said. "So have you, Haji."
When she mentioned the name "Haji", a black, shadowy hand emerged from the jewel of her rosarie and stroked her face lovingly. Monty then made a noise that was a sign that he had asked the American girl a question.
"No, I haven't talked to him about the dream yet," Mavis replied.
The dream she was speaking of was a dream of a boy with dark hair and blue eyes. He had held a loving gaze as he had held her close to him, whispering that he loved her and kissing her as they became engulfed in blue flames.
Thinking about it now only made her blush a bright red.
"Well, I'm too pissed to talk about it with him anyway. Maybe some time later... Anyway, you mind helping me unpack, Monty?"
Monty nodded and the two began to work in her room.
