Ok guys, so I didn't really like the way this chapter turned out, so I'm gonna rewrite it. I'm gonna try and keep it somewhat started the same, but it's not gonna be as... rushed.

Chapter 3

Rin was frustrated. Even more frustrated then she had been last week. It took her a while to realize, but Danny had been deliberatrly avoiding her since the incident at the mall. She had been trying to figure it out since she noticed it, but it was considerably harder then she had originally thought it would be.

She started pulling on her dark strands of hair. Finally, she decided that she needed to do something about it. So, she transformed into her favorite form, her blue/black cat with the beautiful blue eyes. She then ran off to Danny's house.

She was going to figure out what was going on with him if it killed her.

Line Break

Danny heard a light tapping coming from the front door.

"I'll get it!" He shouted so his family knew that the door was going to be taken care of and they didn't need to worry about it. He threw the door open and...

"Rin!" He shouted, with delight or fear, he wasn't sure. He was happy to see her, but he didn't think being alone with her was a good idea. He didn't know what would happen. "What are you doing here?" He asked, more calmly this time.

"We need to talk." She said firmly, walking into the house and shutting his door so he knew that she was serious.

"What's up?" He asked, trying to bring her out of her obvious sour mood.

" Alone. " she said, letting him know that she wasn't in the mood for dancing around the subject and that they needed to talk. Now.

"Alright... My room's this way. Follow me." He responded, motioning towards the stairs.

When they reached his room, she shut the door behind them. "So..." He trailed off. "What is it?"

"You're avoiding me. I wanna know why." She said cooly, not breaking eye contact once.

"I'm not-"

"Bullshit!" She hissed, "I know you are, I just can't figure out why! Is it because of what happened at the mall?"

" No, it's not that! It's-" he started to try and explain but Rin cut him off.

"Wait. Do you smell that?"

" Smell what? " he asked, perplexed.

"That." She hissed, and when he gave her a quizzical look, she sighed. "It's so strong, how can you not?" She almost whispered, and turned around , threw open the door, and marched down the stairs.

Danny followed in pursuit, not entirely sure what she was going after. That is, until she stopped by the lab door. He thought about everything that his parents had down there and knew that he didn't want Rin down there. So he did the best he could do. He feigned ignorance.

"It's probably nothing." Danny said, trying to pull her away from the door. "My parents do weird experiments in the basement all the time. They're probably just doing another one."

Rin threw a look at him that told him to be quiet. She was sick of this. She recognized that scent. She had smelled it before. She just couldn't place it.

Then, something happened that made Rin even more curious.

"Danny, your father and I are going out! Jazz is in charge! Remember, stay out of the lab! Love you!" His mom called from the living room.

Danny gulped and looked at Rin slyly. "Leaky fuse?" He asked more then answered, and as soon as the front door shut, Rin opened the door and ran down the stairs. "Crap." Danny mumbled, then shouted. "Jazz! We have a slight problem!" and chased after his female friend.

When he reached the bottom of the stairs he found Rin staring wide-eyed at the portal.

"You have a portal." She said, as though it were the most simple thing in the world. And then she whirled around with an accusing look on her face. "You have a portal in your basement! Of course you do!" Then, she groaned out loud and said, too softly for Danny to hear, "And of course Iblis wouldn't tell me." Then she looked up, all frustration clearly gone. "Explanation?"

And so Danny told her about how his parents are ghosts hunters and that's why they have a portal in their basement.

And at some point Jazz showed up, confused as hell.

Line Break

School on Monday started out normal, aside from Danny not avoiding Rin anymore.(He'd rather deal with his emotions then another surprise visit from her that leads to weird disoveries anyday.) And everything stayed normal.

Until lunch, at least.

It started as usual, with Rin sitting next to Sam at their table of misfits, both girls sitting across from both boys. Everyone was having one conversation as opposed to the past week of small conversations that never involved both Danny and Rin at the same time.

And then it happened. The thing that set the whole day off balance for one Rin Okumura.

"Hey hot stuff, why not come sit by us cool kids instead of these losers over here?" Dash Baxter said as he leaned against the table the so called 'losers' were sitting at.

Danny, Sam, and Tucker rolled their eyes at the jock, and Rin looked at his attempt at a 'luring' expression.

"Because," she stated, picking up her fork and stabbing some of her salad. "I'd rather spend my time with someone that has personality."

Dash looked offended. "Hey! I have per-son-al-ity." He said, sounding out the word to make sure he pronounced it corretly.

" Yeah, " Rin shot back quickly. "About as much as a blade of grass." She said it so fluidly it seemed as though she had practiced it over and over again until she managed to get it just right.

The stereotypical dumb jock looked apalled. Then he said, "you'll come to us on your own time." And walked away as though nothing had happened .

That was the first attempt of many.

There was the time that Paulina offered to take her to her house after school and give her a complete makeover. She claimed that if Rin managed to get her makeup just right then maybe, just maybe she would be as pretty as her.

That made the bluenette pissed.

Then Kwan offered to take her out and get her something to eat. Rin declined immediately.

There were about five or six more attempts after that, three of which included Dash coming back for more. Continuously.

By the time school got out, Rin was sick of all of the A listers and just wanted to relax. At home. Alone.

Of course she never actually made it, seeing as she was dragged to Sam's after school with Danny and Tucker and no explanation.

By the time they got to Sam's basement, Rin was done with unexpected events.

"What's going on?" She finally asked.

"We're just gonna hang out." Danny told her, giving her a look that obviously said ' calm down.'

"Oh. Cool." She said.

"What?" Danny asked. "Don't wanna soend time with us?" He teased.

"Not at all." She joked, smiling.

She had missed talking to Danny.t

They arrived at Sam's house about fifteen minutes later, and immediately plopped on the couch when they got downstairs.

"What do you wanna do?" Sam asked, and Danny and Tucker looked at each other... And grinned.

Line Break

When Rin got home she was tired. They had spent their time at Sam's playing a bunch of games, whether it be on a consol or not. She hadn't had so much fun in so long. She had almost forgot what it was like to spend time with her friends and just forget everything that was going on.

She had just set her stuff down when she noticed it. A folded note on the table. She picked it up and easily recognized the handwriting her name was written in. It was a letter from Iblis. She picked it up and unfolded it. She read the words that were written in it with confusion.

Things are about to get hard. I have sent you this gift to... Help. Enjoy.

She looked around, confused. Trying to decipher just what her half-brother had been talking about when something hit her and she fell over.

Turning around to see what it was, she had never been so shocked and elated at the same time.

"Kuro!"

Alrighty... Thanks for sticking through that with me. I know that the last update i had on this was really... Dumb. I think this one will work out better for the story in the long run.

Anywho, let me know if you find any mistakes. An authors most valued opinion is that of their readers. Critique me. Anything.
