Oh so I was looking at the last chapter and I spelled Akari wrong the second time... Anyway it's Akari not Atari, lol hopefully I can get it right this time. (I feel like one of you are gonna go back to see my mistake, I would too lol)

Chapter 2: The mission and the dream

Rin was sleeping soundly, this time without any weird dreams keeping him awake. He was still in the classroom his head slowly falling down before jerking it up right again, when Yukio screamed his name to wake him up.

"What! Uhhh I wasn't sleeping." Rin said rubbing the back of his neck and smiling.

"Really?" Yukio said pushing his glasses up from falling off his face. Yukio was going to continue when a bell suddenly rang. They were recently added due to Mephisto thinking it will make the place more energetic or happy. The bell didn't sound like a normal bell, more like a mini tune. Yukio sighed as the class stood up to go to gym class.

As they were walking all Rin could think about Akari wondering if she was really real or just a weird dream.

"Rin are you okay?" Rin looked up to see Shiemi standing right in front of him, her eyes gleaming with a small sparkle. The others stopped walking turning around to stare.

Rin started to laugh a little putting his hands up and waved, "No no I'm fine, just didn't get much sleep last night." He added a smile and they continued walking.

They had a normal gym class, running while different demons following them from behind, each one with different styles. Some changed directions while others could jump and end up right in front of you.

It was the end of the school day and they had already done their training. It was now around 7 o'clock and they were about to walk back to their rooms, when Rin suddenly felt his headache coming back, this time a little more painful. He was alone now so he didn't have to hide the pain from anyone. He learned forward, waiting for it to pass. He was there for about 2 minutes before the pain subsided. He finished walking to his dorm and fell asleep, Kuro laying next to him.

Dream*

Rin woke up in the same place as last time, the grassy field with an occasional wind, he started looking around, looking up the stars. He turned to see Akari standing right behind him.

"What are you doing! Don't come up on me like that." Rin told her jumping back.

"Well I didn't think you were easily scared like a little girl." Akari said smiling.

"I wasn't scared." Rin said in a low voice almost a whisper, laying down in the grass with his arms behind his head. Akari joined him sitting while hugging her knees to her chest.

"It's nice to have company." Akari began out of nowhere, Rin opened his eyes and looked at her. "Been here for so long, normally I just talk to myself to pass the time." She chuckled to herself, and smiled a little bit too. Rin sat up, looking at the vast nothingness in the distance.

"Where exactly are we?" He asked, wondering if he was going to have another headache tomorrow.

"I call it Grassy-Hollow. Your just in a dream, waiting to wake up in the morning. Me however, I stay here wondering if I will ever wake up. I'm just waiting." She answered his question, but he wished he had never asked.

"Well it looks like I'm going to have to keep you company until then, only the headaches aren't that nice." Rin looked over at Akari and could see her smiling silently to herself, happy to finally have someone to talk too.

They had small conversations. Rin telling her about his day and the two getting to know each other.

"You have a cat, that can talk!" She turned to face him her eyes sparkling in the night sky.

"Yeah, he's my familiar, Kuro." Rin said smiling.

"I always wanted a familiar only I could never find one that really suited me on my missions, or as a friend." Turns out Akari is an exorcist as well, she knew Angel, Mephisto and even met Shura, which gave them more to talk about.

They were in the middle of a conversation when he began to hear a loud ringing in his ear, realizing it was his alarm. Akari looked up from the grass and at Rin

"Gotta go?"

"Yea." Rin replied everything beginning to fade out once again. "See you tonight." He said with a smile.

"Yea." She said and gave him a hug surprising him, but he hugged her back.

End Dream*

Rin woke up at 5:30, made breakfast and used his key to get to school. He walked in the room to see Bon, Shima and the others sitting at their desks.

"Well someone finally arrived on time." Bon said looking at him with a grin. Rin just smiled and sat down next to Shiemi. Yukio was half way through his lesson when Shura burst through the door.

"Hey kid." Shura said sitting on Yukio's desk. "So Mephisto called us on a mission." She continued, ignoring Yukio's continuance glare. Shura hopped off the desk and grabbed Rin by the neck dragging him out of them room. Shura then stopped at the door and turned around, Rin almost hitting the door. "What are you all waiting for?" Shura added and the rest of the class followed her out of the room, leaving Yukio behind after Shura said he couldn't come.

"So your saying we have to go stop demons at a secret science facility and save the scientist that are there, because they lost control of their experiments." Konekomaru said with wonder in his eyes. They were on a mini bus to the location where the scientist sent the stress call from.

"Yup." Shura replied. Driving the bus, but not doing a good job. She hit about two or three animals and swerved off the road about four times. When they arrived they were in the middle of the woods, snow lied on the ground and just in the distance they could make out a large building, where the scientist were. Shura hopped out off the bus and began to walk in its direction her sword in her hand, the end of the sword resting on her shoulder.

"I feel like she is hiding something from us, I mean there aren't even any demons anywhere." Shima started to say, but was cut off by a large demon landing not to far ahead of Shura. They looked over at Shima, but he put his hands in the air as to not take blame for his loud mouth. She began to use her sword to take out the demon, the rest of the group joining in behind her.

They spent about half an hour fighting the demons, before they got to the large building. The windows covered with frost from the cold, and the building looked like it had been there for centuries.

"Okay, this place is really starting to look a little creepy." Shima said, not happy about their certain predicament.

"Well, won't find out anything just standing here, right chicken." Shura said looking at Bon before walking up the stairs to the door. "Let's just get this over with shall we."

Heyo. So I know "Grassy-Hollow" is a little lame (lol) but if you guys have any better names let me know cause I stink at naming things , but thanks for the support so far and hopefully I can upload another chapter real soon :)

Oh and Happy Weekend (I love the weekend)
