"You mean? This is your home?" Akari nodded at him.
"Of course, I lived here since I was in the hands of my godfather. He was kind enough to give me this cove." Rin looked up.
There were no ceilding, there was light like it was in the middle of the day.
"The time of day changes here, it's day when it's night outside."
"And it's night when it's day outside." Akari nodded, Rin stood up. He coughed up water.
Akari bend down to Rin.
"The bubble that brought you down here was holding the oxygen that kept you alive, but it seems that the bubble was popped. Like a tail." Rin looked at his tail.
He gave a laughing smile.
Akari shooked her head.
"Come on, I'll give you something to get the water out of your lungs." She tooked Rin's hand and pulled her to the house.
Rin felt that her hand was warm.
Rin looked at the house.
It's...a seashell house?
It was a bright yellow house with white in a shape of a seashell. Everywhere of the house had seashells and water flowers.
Even the front door has a seashell.
Rin reambered what Shiemi said.
"Just look for the house with a seashell on the front door."
Has Shiemi been here before?
Akari opened the front door, the whole room was bright golden, green, white and pink.
Akari closed the door behind Rin, he walked around the room.
"So this is where you have been living? In a giant seashell?" Akari walked and opened a box.
"Yes, this has been the secret place that the True Cross acdemy has kept secret from the demons." She looked through the box.
"So, you have beening living here since your mom died?" Akari grabbed a small bottle.
"Yes." Akari walked to Rin, the small bottle that was filled with purple dust.
"What's that?" Akari sat in front of Rin. She opened the bottle, and picked a small piece of the dust.
She looked at Rin, she held the piece of dust in her fingers
"Take this." Rin gave a look at Akari.
"What is it?" Akari sighed.
"It's a rare dust that can make water turn into air in the lungs in a few seconds."
"I don't like it." Akari twitched her eyebrow again.
"Do you want to die of water in your lungs?" Rin looked at her. He grabbed the piece of dust and looked at it.
"Is it sour?" Akari gave a sigh, she shoved the piece of dust into his mouth.
Rin shallowed the piece.
He felt the water in his lungs turned into air, he breathed in and out.
Akari gave a smile, she put the bottle back in the box.
Rin looked at Akari.
She touched the small bag on the strap of her necklace.
Rin saw the inside of the box, there were bottles and bags of dust.
"You have more of that stuff?" Akari looked at him.
"These are healing charms and spells that a Doctor would need." Rin looked at the fireplace.
He saw photographs, old and new.
Akari stood in front of the photographs.
"How did you find this place?" Akari crossed her arms. Rin's eyes were wide.
"Um, Shiemi told me the address-"
"Shiemi told you to find 'the door with the seashell on it'?" Rin nodded. "I give her my address so I could buy the dusts and spells at her store. But how did you really found the cave?"
"A woman with short hair told me that your house was in the ocean." Akari gave a smile.
"That woman, did she wear a short coat with a string wrapped around the waist?"
"Uh, yeah." Akari smiled.
"That woman was my cousin, Dani."
"FOR REAL?!" Akari nodded.
"She's a nice woman, she's a exorcist too." Rin had wide eyes.
"So, she knows about you being half demon?" Akari nodded.
"She knows, but she doesn't understand. But, why did you come here?" Rin reamebered the reason and stood up.
"I came here. To...To ask to hang out with you!" Akari had a blank face.
"Say what now?" Rin sighed.
"I want to hang out with you." Akari still had a blank face.
"But we are hanging out, right now." Rin looked at her.
"I mean, going to eat some food and do what other people do when they hang out." Akari stared at him.
"That's called a date." Rin blushed.
"No it's not!" Akari gave a small smile.
"Why do you want to hang out with me? I'm just a girl that is a half demon, and that lives in a seashell." Rin looked at his feet.
"You...are more than that. You have a dream to be a exorcist and wants to be a Doctor, Aria and a Tamer." Akari looked at him.
"How did you know that?" Rin rubbed his head.
"Mephisto kinda told me about it." Akari's face was turning red.
"That clown told me that he wouldn't tell anyone about that." Rin smiled at her. "Okay."
Rin looked at her.
"What?"
"I said okay, I'll go out with you."
"IT'S NOT A DATE!" Akari smiled at him.
"But still, I'll go hang out with you." Rin put his fist in the air.
"Yeah!" Akari gave a chuckle.
"You are really are a idiot, going this far just to ask me out."
"For the last time it's not a date!" Akari put her hand on her cheek.
"Of course, any guy would go underwater in a bubble to tell me to hang out with him."
"IT'S NOT A DATE!"
"Then why is your face red?"
"Cause!" A picture behind Akari was shown.
A woman with black hair and wearing a green dress was standing beside a little girl with white hair and holding the woman's hand were in the picture.
