Chapter Five: Befriending the Quest Class

Rin Didn't know what was happening. She felt the blood splash on her hands and legs. She felt the souls rise through the air. Even though they were perverted creeps.... She never wanted to see this... hear these screams.... Feel this blood.

Suddenly.. it all stopped. She felt a hand touch her shoulder.

"What are you doing out here this time of the morning?", said the killer.

She pushed his arm away and backed away in fear.

"Go away!", she said with out opening her eyes.

"That's a poor way to treat some one who just saved u from a group of disguised demons."

"What? Demons?" Rin said and she opened her eyes and looked at the man.

He was tall, had long raven hair tied back into a lose pony tail, and wore a long black coat that looked like it was from Hot Topic. He had indigo blue eyes and was carrying a metal mask in his hand.

"Why are you out here while it's still dark?"

"Well... I was... going to school?"

"The grade schools don't start until 8:30 A.M. It's 5:30 A.M. right now."

"Well.... More time to study!"

"You don't have any text books."

"Mind your own business!" Rin snapped as she started to walk off.

"You know? You're pretty fiery for an ice demon." Rin stopped and turned around.

She stared at the man. He had a satisfied look on his face like he knew that would get her attention.

"Who are you?" Rin asked.

"I'm a friend of Kurama's, Rin. You most likely have heard nothing but bad things about me, living with him."

Suddenly it hit Rin.

"You mean to say you are Karasu?"

"The one and only, Rin."

Rin was suddenly scared. She backed away in fear. Karasu looked disappointed.

"You are frightened of me, Rin?"

"Y-Yes..."

He shook his head and bent down so he was eye level with her.

"You know, you shouldn't always rely on what others tell you. It shows u can't think for yourself and u will believe anything they tell you even if it's not fully true. I have no intention of harming you. Your baby sitter and I never really got along. No one can accept me for who I am. I hope you will. I hope you choose to believe what your heart tells you. Not what someone else tells you."

Rin was truly amazed. He wasn't the type of person she heard he was at all. He seemed so much more gentle. This was the person who just murdered those men... and nearly killed Kurama... but wait... didn't Kurama kill him? This was getting to complicated. Maybe this wasn't the same man! But, then again, how did he now Kurama and that Kurama said bad things about him? And how did he know Rin's name? This was definitely Karasu.

"Well... thank you... for saving me."

Karasu smiled.

"Anytime. So... what are you doing out here this early, exactly?"

Rin told him the whole story about how Hiei lost it and how he's living there now.

"You've had a rough morning so far and it's only 5:45."

"Yeah, and I didn't get much sleep either."

"Are you hungry, Miss Rin?"

"Yeah!"

"I'll take you to the Café. Do you have money?"

"Well.. I, Uh... no."

"Don't worry. I have enough money for 10 people. Come on, Rin."

"Okay!"

Rin followed happily. She had to admit she was a little surprised. He was totally different than she expected. Was he up to something? No. He couldn't have been. He had no reason. She was hungry anyway. They entered the café. Karasu turned to her.

"What would you like to eat?"

"Um... Cheese Danish and a cup of hot cocoa."

Rin spotted a phone booth in the corner of the café.

"Um... Mr. Karasu? Can I go use that phone booth real quick?"

"Sure."

Rin walked inside the booth, paid, and dialed her dad's cell.

"Hello? Daddy?"

Kyoki: Well, there you have it! Chappie six is coming soon!

Ryoku: good thing that old fox ain't here tonight or he'd really be pushing you to finish the next chapter.

Kyoki: yeah!

Kurama: suddenly behind them old fox?

Kyoki and Ryoku: jump AAHH!!

Kurama: Kyoki. Get working.

Kyoki: I know. I know.
