Rin stared at the ceiling in his dorm room. With Yukio gone, he had some time to think. Something about that girl at the fountain had caught his attention. The demon side of him had raised alarm but the human side had wanted to spend more time with her. He sat up on his bed and walked over to the door. Rin paused for a moment then began to put on his shoes. Kuro meowed at him as he opened the door.
"Don't worry Kuro, I'm just going to the fountain. I'll be back in a bit. Let Yukio know if he returns before I get back," Rin closed the door behind him.
Rin trudged down the street towards the nearby marketplace. He couldn't help but be amazed at how quiet and beautiful the area was.
As he walked towards the fountain, Rin breathed a sigh of relief to see that the girl was still there. He walked over and stood by her. She didn't even bother to look up.
"Are you alright? I've seen you sitting here for several days and I was wondering if you needed some help."
"Not really, I'm at what most consider a crossroad in my life. My mother wants me to join True Cross Academy and become an exorcist but I don't trust Mephisto Pheles. Do you know any exorcist?" she turned to him and watched him with eyes the color of robin's eggs.
"Yeah! My twin brother Yukio is an exorcist and I'm studying to become one. Mephisto may be a freak but he isn't that bad," Rin shrugged.
"It's nice to hear someone say that. My mother is an exorcist but she never talks about it. I can't just do something without knowing what I'm getting myself in to," she smiled weakly.
"I understand. My name's Rin by the way. Rin Okumura."
"My name Anaeis Vivanti."
"Well Anaeis, why don't you come with me? I'm not sure where my brother is but we might run into him on the way back," Rin scratched his head.
"That's sounds great! Lead the way," Anaeis got up and moved her silver white hair out of her eyes.
