Tehe! First time i get to update in ICT! Anyways, new chappy, sooooo! enjoy!
Rin began to walk purposefully in the direction of the science classrooms. I raised an eyebrow. "Umm, where are you going?"
She paused, then looked back. "Isn't this the quickest way outside?"
My lips twitched. "No, that would be in the other direction." Rin blinked.
"I knew that!" She spun and walked quickly down the hallway, brushing past me. I barely heard her mumble. "Stupid school hallways, set up without reason, I tell ya! Every sane immortal knows to put the exits north and south to avoid infiltration of bad spirits!" Fighting a smile I followed Rin down the hall, going ahead of her, and pushing open a faculty door.
"If you don't want to walk to who knows where, learn to use these doors every now and then."
Rin smiled up at me. "Where would I be without you?"
"Nowhere."
As we walked outside to the parking lot, Rin paused. "It would probably be easier to teleport, wouldn't it?"
"I suppose. But where to?"
"My mother. She'll know something, or at least I'll be able to get a scrying demon from her or something. Or better yet, get her to arrange a meeting with Pheobe."
"Your mother? If she can do this, then why isn't she able to find your father?"
"Father is an influential member of a clan of assasins. As am I. But mother doesn't have that status and thus lacks the assets that come with it. I will find him, either way, but, I would much prefer not to visit the clan. They won't like you very much. Now, do you want to drive or should I just teleport us there?"
"Teleport. It's faster. "
"If you're sure..."
"Positive."
Rin shrugged. "Alright... I should give you a fair warning. Most people, demonic, elven, or otherwise, don't fare well their first time through a dimensional doorway. Or the second, or the third. But it gets better. Eventually."
I sighed. "Rin, I can handle this doorway of yours. Don't doubt me. I have a way of transportation like this as well." Sorta. When I turn into my light-ball-thing mode I can move veeeeeery fast, but it's not straight out teleporting.
Rin gave me another shrug. "If you say so." She closed her eyes, concentrating, and there in an instant, a blue circle appeared before her, widening steadily until it could easily fit a person or two through it. Looking at the doorway, I could see another place, a large, elaborate castle that stole my breath away. The enitre structure was made of a glossy back material, like onyx or obsisdian, and fused with trees that had bark of the same material. The leaves on the towering trees hung down around the castle, and shimered giving off their own light in a plethora of colors, giving the whole place an unreal look. From the middle of it rose a huge tree that put any other seem tiny, even the sequoyas in California.
"Well? I can't very well keep this open forever, you know." Rin's vioce called from behind me. I turned to see her, her eyes once again glowing an unearthly red, like fire.
"S-sorry." What was it with Rin and making me stutter? Sighing silently to myself, I stepped through the portal, and immediately regretted it.
Sorry for the short length, but I only have limited time here, and I couldn't get as much written as I wanted to. Salvador, a freind of mine who sits behind me, kept distracting me! GRRRRR! DAMN YOU AND YOUR EVIL TOWER DEFENSE GAME THAT MADE ME LOOK AWAY FROM THIS WAAAAY TO OFTEN BECAUSE OF IT'S AWESOME-NESS! Anyways, I am also feeling particuallily evil today, so I'll end it on a cliffy. Tehe!
