Everyone in the acdemy was wispering as Rin past the hallways to his classroom.
"Okumura is going out with Sasaki." Rin kept hearing that same comment over and over again.
It's annoying now. The only way to get rid of it... is to RUN!
Rin ran to his exorcist class and closed the door behind him.
"Rin?" Rin looked at Shiemi.
"Uh...that was nothing! I am not going out with Akari!" Rin yelled out loud.
Everyone stared at him. He looked at them.
"I'm happy that you are going with Akari to a date today." Shiemi gave a smile.
"I'm not dating her! I'm just hanging out with her!"
"But where are you taking her?" Rin reambered the covernstion that he had with Luka.
Flashback to 5 hours ago.
"Here." Rin was given a piece of paper, it had a event coming up.
"A festival?" Rin looked at Luka. She hit him on the head with her fist.
"Try the cherry blossom festival." Rin looked at her.
"But it isn't the time for the cherry blossoms to bloom!"
"It's not that one that you humans have! It's a festival to thanks the flowers to give their petals to the world and say goodbye till we see them in the next spring." Luka looked at him.
"Why this festival?" Luka looked at the paper.
"I don't know Mephisto choose this festival, but I know that Akari will go to it. I just have a feeling that she will."
Back to the presant
"I'm going to take her to that cherry blossom festival, after school." Shiemi gave a smile.
"That's sweet! I know that she will love it!" Rin started blushing and looked away.
"Hey, has anyone seen Sasaki?" Rin looked around in the room.
"Where is she?"
"Maybe she skipped class for today."
I kinda hoped that I would see her again. But today isn't the day.
"Everyone sit down now." Yukio walked in the room, everyone sat at their desks. He looked around the room.
"Has anyone seen Akari Sasaki?" Everyone shooked their heads.
I wonder where she is.
After school, in the town.
Rin walked on the sidewalk with Kuro.
"I don't understand Kuro, why would Akari skip class?"
Maybe she was sick.
"I didn't see her sick or even being close from being sick." Rin saw a couple walk out of a restaurant.
They looked happy and holding each other hands.
Rin touched his chest.
Why am I feeling this weird feeling in my heart?
"The hell with it, I'm going to get some things from the store." Rin walked past the resturant window.
Where Akari was standing in front of.
Rin walked back to the window and looked in it. He couldn't believe what he saw.
"AKARI?" Akari was wearing a maid cosplay costume with a plate in her hand.
She looked at the window and saw Rin.
"Rin!"
Rin sat in front of Akari in the back room, they sat on wood boxes.
"So now you know about my work." Rin looked at her. "I didn't want anyone to know about my work it would be embrassing."
Rin put his hands on his knees.
"So that's why you didn't come to school?" Akari nodded.
"I had to work a shift for my friend who was out sick. I knew I wasn't coming to school so I called Mephisto and told him."
Rin nodded.
"Does Mephisto know about your work?"
"Yes, he was the one that told me about the job. And I said yes."
"Why would you need a job from him?" Akari's hand hold her dress down.
"I owe money to him, from all of the manga that he bought for me." She gave a smile to Rin.
"So, how much money do you owe him?" Akari's eyes wided, she grabbed a piece of paper and a pen.
She wrote down the number and gave it to him.
"That's how much I owe to him." Rin's mouth dropped when he saw the number.
"That's a lot of zeros!" Akari nodded.
"Yeah, it's a lot but I owe that much money to him and I have to pay him back soon." Akari looked at him. "Now leave."
"Why?" Akari gave a look.
"The girls need to change costumes." She pointed behind him. Rin turned around and saw the girls waiting.
At the back door.
"Sorry about that, the girls had to change without a boy in the room." Rin scratched his head.
"Yeah, I understand." Akari saw a paper in his pocket sticking out.
"What's that?" Rin looked at the paper and try to hide it but Akari grabbed it.
She looked at the paper.
"This is a festival for the cherry blossoms. Is this where you were taking me today?" Rin's cheeks were turning pink.
"Yeah." Akari gave him back the paper.
"I look forward to it." Akari opened the back door. "I'll see you later."
"Yeah." Akari gave a smile and walked into the building.
Rin put his hands in his pockets and walked to the dorm.
Akari stood against the door, her heart skipped a beat.
I am happy now.
Akari felt a headache in her head, she felt a warm liquid going down her arm.
She looked at saw blood coming down from her arm.
"How did that happened?"
