( FF of November 2, 2014 )
i went all mushy on everyone in the tAGS but um ahh!! again this ff is long overdue. but anyways, i really would like to thank everyone for following me and genuinely making role playing in this fandom such a fun experience. you guys really light up my day a lot of the times, and you guys are such gems in a sometimes crappy fandom. thank you!! you’re all so lovely!
cries i’m sorry if i forgot you though. if you’re not on here, i don’t love you any less. you’re all SO SO SO LOVELY and i’m just trash okay. empress of trash.
I can’t believe. I haven’t been able to log onto this account in literal years, but I made a random guess, and figured out my email address. *breathes heavily on blog.* I miss Rin. Uh, I’m about to go and reblog some of the things that I never saw that I was tagged in, and then I’ll see what I’m gonna do with this blog. I’m thinking about reviving it, somehow? Is this fandom even alive? Is there even any room for a return Rin? Find out next week!
"Ah?" Lier blinked, tilting her head some toward him without bothering to actually attempt to look his way. If he thought her rude for it, there was little she could do about that.
"Do you mean me..? No, I’m…" He thought she was a teacher? Did she look like a teacher? Hmn. The uniform couldn’t have changed or relaxed that much since she had attended the school, could it? It wasn’t as if she’d be able to tell.
"I’m not a teacher. I was just taking a break here, that’s all. The fountain is soothing. Am I in your way?" Even without waiting for his answer, the redhead slid off of the structure to pull her weapon back over her shoulders. Something about the boy was unsettling, made her stomach twist, but she couldn’t place it entirely. It wasn’t worth calling him out on, though. Not yet. Not unless he made trouble.
"Huh?" Not a teacher...Then, why was she there?
Rin knew the fountain was soothing; there was a reason that the exwires had chosen that as their meeting spot, after all. It was relaxing to be surrounded by the admittedly breathtaking natural setting and hear the gurgling of the water behind their backs. Still -- He was suddenly ill at ease, wondering why a person that was not a teacher would be on campus, and with a weapon, at that.
Never one to restrain himself for long, he shrugged carelessly as he made his way closer to her position and replied, "Nah, you're fine. I just didn't expect to see anyone else here. Usually my friends would be waiting, so it was a surprise. If you're not a teacher, then who're you...?"
And what do you planning on doing with that thing across your shoulders?
aokasai replied to your post:"WHOA!!!! Your eyes are red~ You okay, dude? Did’ya get somethin’ in them, or what?" Because he thinks they look ‘bloodshot.’
"What are you apologizing for…? Don’t be weird; it’s normal to worry when a guy looks like they just woke up from the dead! I was just wonderin’ if you were okay, but now that you mention it…Could you maybe tell me where I am…?"
Was he always this blunt…?
Nonetheless, Itachi took no offense to what the stranger had just said, and simply focused on the matter at hand. He had never seen this one before- nor did it appear as though the stranger was from anywhere close to these parts.
"… You are just outside Konoha Village," Itachi stated simply, ignoring the remark that had been made on his appearance. The boy seemed well-meaning, after all.
"Is there a certain village or town that you are looking for…?"
Rin didn't appear to notice that his words could be seen as insulting in a number of ways. He continued to grin, completely oblivious to his utter failure at proper social conduct.
"Konoha Village...? Never heard of --" Wait. Hadn't he accidentally happened across a 'Konoha' something or other some time back when he'd 'found' a key laying around and gotten a little...curious? "Ah! I've been here before, I'm pretty sure...This guy named Iruka had my ca -- Kuro. Yeah, I've been here."
He thought about it a little more and realized that he still didn't know where exactly Konoha was, so he couldn't really answer whether or not he was looking for a certain place.
Rubbing he back of his neck he admitted sheepishly, "I thought I'd gotten the key to get into cram school, but I guess I grabbed that one...I'm looking for True Cross. Ever heard of it?"
Hayley did notice the glare Rin gave to Shima….What was that all about? All he asked was how her mother was doing, but….Wait, did he know? Sure some of her words gave out little pointers as to what she meant… Nah, this was typical for Rin, if anyone could guess thing like that, he would.
“Y’got a point there. Sometimes the future’s a bit on the scary side. Especially after all the crazy shit we’ve experienced in the past year.” Of course, she was referring to Hecate nearly killing Rin and Hayley, And the events in Paris. Luckily, those were in the past, although a scar on Hayley’s stomach still remained.
The question she sent him came right back to her, which again, was normal for conversations. Either that, Or he was simply using her as a diversion in order to pilfer from Yukio’s bento. Either way, She answered.
“I mean, It is a possibility, but still. We’d be really strong by that point in time, So its nothin’ to freak out about.” Taking a small bite of rice, she gave everyone a grin, obviously confident.
Rin nodded in agreement, swallowing as much food as possible without chewing and shoveling more in when he thought no one was looking. It was true that they'd been through quite a lot already, especially Hayley and Rin himself. Honestly, it seemed like every time they turned around, someone as trying to kill them.
"Heh. Yeah, you're right. Hell, I bet we could take 'em now! BRING IT ON, YA BASTARDS!!!!" He'd gotten a bit carried away, like usual, and forgotten he was in the middle of packing away food like some kind of oversize chipmunk.
It sprayed all over Yukio, who finally noticed is older twin had been stealing his lunch and yanked it away from him, appearing entirely unamused. with the whole situation. Everyone shared another laugh, and Rin grinned widely, unrepentant. During times like this, Rin forgot that he wasn't always on good terms with everyone. He forgot entirely that Yukio was still waiting for him to snap completely one day...That he was prepared to kill him if that day ever came.
Lunch soon finished, and the group went their separate ways. Everything was calm for once. Too bad that wouldn't last for much longer.
It had taken her long enough to get back into the school grounds, she deserved a chance to sit and rest. Lier leaned back on her palms, fingers barely dipping into the water of the fountain. Her rifle bag rested quite nicely against her legs, the only thing keeping her coat-tails from fluttering in the wind behind her dangling feet was its weight.
Classes were in the process of ending, the regular students beginning to wander about, and the crescendo of voices filling the courtyard brought a smile to her lips. It didn’t seem to occur to her that she might be out of place among the teenagers, though given the badge pinned in place below the fur lining her coat’s collar, it might be simple enough to mistake her for a new instructor taking a break to sit upon the popular central fountain.
The second classes came to a halt for the day, a certain blue-eyed half demon would immediately bolt from the room and flee the premises as fast as his weary legs would carry him. Today was certainly no exception, and he eagerly scrambled to the outer area, appreciatively gulping down fresh air as if he were a thirsty man hungering to taste the last drop of water from a bottle in a dry desert. After regaining his bearings, Rin headed to the usual spot: the water fountain strategically placed in the courtyard.
He and the rest of the exwires had placed a claim to the spot as their general 'haunting ground' of sorts, designating that as the location at which they'd meet up for almost any reason at all. Rin half expected to find one or two of his classmates lingering there already, but he was met with a most unusual sight instead.
"Oi, lady~ Are you a new teacher, or something?...? You must be lost," he called out by way of greeting as he came closer to her position, unaware that this would probably not be a favorable introduction.
She didn't really seem to belong and he couldn't remember ever meeting her before, so it was no surprise he'd come to the conclusion that she was new and/or lost.
Sukiyaki? Gajeel hadn’t heard of it before, but he wasn’t averse to trying something new. When it came down to food, the Iron Dragon Slayer wasn’t particularly picky. Besides, since a stranger was so kind as to offer him a meal, and since the mage’s stomach wouldn’t cease its grumbling, he wasn’t in any position to complain — not that he would’ve in the first place, however.
“Hm. Sounds good to me, then,” he said, a nod quickly following his words. Red eyes wandering, he saw the other male gesture for Gajeel to follow him. Giving a light huff in response, he walked after him in slow pursuit, taking a look around as he did. It..well, it didn’t look like he was in Fiore.
Weird. Definitely weird.
“Gajeel,” he introduced. “Gajeel Redfox.”
Ga...jeel Redfox. It was a strange name, but then again, he wasn't really one to talk. There's been a time in his life when he'd been incessantly teased for having a 'girly name' but that had been put to a stop pretty fast. Earning him yet another black mark in the eyes of most of 'polite' society, and giving further credence to the theory that he was something not human due to the violent way he dealt with adversity.
"Hah~ Well, good t'meet ya, Gajeel. Oh, look, we're here!" It wasn't like the distance to the dorm Rin inhabited with his twin brother was that great, but he had a habit of making a big production out of everything. "Only Yukio and I live here, so we don't have to worry about other's bugging us. There's not much to do, but it won't be that long for the food to cook, so hopefully you won't be bored, or anythin'~"
Rin wasn't the best host, but hey, he was trying.
They made their way up to the floor that had been mostly cleared out for the Okumura's usage, and entered the kitchen without must fuss. He gave a little wave to the demon that also had custody of the space, indicating that he'd be using it. Rin wasn't sure if Gajeel could see him or not, so he didn't bother with introductions or explaining his actions if they seemed unusual.
Grinning widely at the other male, he said, "Just sit back and relax, and we'll have food in the split of a pea!"
He still needed to work on remembering sayings correctly.
The silver-haired boy had already collapsed due to exhaustion, but Hayley didn’t notice. Well, how could she? It’s hard to pay attention when your ear is being subject to the fucking hell known as Iona’s grip.
"Well still, Even so, a person could Easily find out! Due to the outbreaks, security has been increased, and who knows what’ll happen if word gets out that you’re the spawn of satan!" Iona lashed out, glaring at the male in her grip. His previous comeback almost added a bit of cockiness to her already-enraged attitude.
"That’s the Thing, Okumura-San. We aren’t in Japan. We’re in France, remember?" Iona asked, although it sounded more like a smartass statement. Her grip on the exwire’s ears was still tight, and it hurt like hell. Hayley could not stand it anymore.
"Iona, That hurts! Let go! PLEASE! You’re gonna rip my ear off!" The redhead shouted. She was expecting Iona to scold them even more, but instead, Iona harrumphed, letting them go. The mention of a boy Caused the purple haired female to glance at Rin.
"You mean the boy over here?" She walked toward the unconscious male, looking at his injuries.
"Did he see you use your power?" She inquired, not taking her eyes off the silver-haired boy.
"Tch." Spawn of Satan...Rin really hated that that was his identifier.
He wasn't going to acknowledge the truth in her words, because that would be like admitting defeat, admitting that maybe he hadn't been thinking things through clearly and that wasn't something that Okumura Rin was comfortable with accepting. Rin also developed convenient deafness to her following words. It didn't matter where they were; Rin was too stubborn to indicate hopelessness at other languages.
They were finally released from Iona's clutches, and Rin rubbed at his sensitive ears as he considered bolting for a split second. Ion would just catch him and punish him even more severely than she already might be planning to, and the blue-eyed male really wasn't feeling it at the moment. His jaw clenched at her question, and he pointedly looked away.
"Well...Uh...Yeah, but it's his fault in the first place!" Rin was always quick to dump the blame on others if it meant wriggling out of trouble. Besides, he didn't like the silver-haired male. He revealed as much when he continued, "Those bastards were following him, and he wasn't any help at all! I don't trust him; there's something funny about 'im."
He reminds me of myself. Rin wasn't going to open that can of worms. Not right now.
Yukio in a tutu? Now a subject like that was laugh-worthy. Well, at least for everyone but Yukio himself. Remembering the earlier mention of Hayley’s mother, Yukio glanced at the redhead. ”Ishimoto-San, You said something earlier about your mother, right?”
”Yeah, I did…Why do ya ask?” Hayley replied, halting the gentle pats she gave to Rin’s back in order to help him breathe. What got into Yukio’s curiosity about her family?
”You’ve never talked about her before, only about Tae, Hino or your father.” The bespectacled brunet stated. The sudden fact seemed to perk everyone’s interest as well.
”Yeah, what is your mother like exactly?” Konekomaru inquired.
This curiosity was a bit sudden…Well…who could blame them? Hayley never did speak about her mother, so she might as well…It wouldn’t hurt to say a few things, right? After all, Rin and the others were her friends. She could tell them anything if she wanted to.
”Her name’s Margaret. She’s got lavender eyes like me, but her hair is orange, always kept in a ponytail. She always knew how to make me smile, and that's what I love about her.” Just thinking about Margaret made her happy. The scarce memories that played in her head were quite joyful, causing a small smile to form on her lips.
Who knew?
”So how’s she doing now?” Shima inquired.
…there’s the itty-bitty reason why she shouldn’t’ve said that. Again, the memories in her mind were clouded, but the main postulation was still present of her mother’s status.
”…Lots of things happened, but….She ain’t…here anymore.”
A silence befell upon everyone, before Shima spoke again.
”I’m sorry for asking, Ishi-Chan…”
Hayley attempted a smile, Now wasn’t the time to mope around in the past. “It’s okay, Shima-Kun! It was a long time ago, after all. Anyway, Why don’t we talk about our dreams about things to come and stop talking about the past?” She suggested, which lightened up the mood a bit, as a few of them nodded in agreement. Hayley took a few bites of her fried shrimp before glancing at the male next to her.
“So Rin, are you already thinking about what graduation will be like for us?” She asked, mouth still half-full with food.
Even though everyone else seemed amused by the mere idea of his younger twin in a tutu, the man himself was obviously displeased. Rin ignored the pinch of his lips and the glare he shot his way, focusing instead on trying to gobble down as much of his food as possible, offering Hayley a grateful smile for her assistance in making sure he didn't choke to death. When the conversation turned to Hayley's mother, Rin's ears twitched forward slightly, and he began to listen once more. Like Yukio and Koneko, he couldn't remember a time when their classmate had spoken at length about her mother...Actually, she'd never even mentioned her before now, as far as he could recall.
Although Rin wasn't generally the most observant of people, he knew Hayley well enough by now to be aware of certain cues, and his attention immediately zeroed in on the word 'knew.' Past tense...His gaze softened, only to narrow on the pink-haired male sitting opposite him. Idiot...Don't ask that! But it was already too late. Hayley's expression told the others all they needed to know, what Rin, of all people, had already guessed.
Her small smile didn't fool him any. He as certain she was hurting now, despite her willingness to move forward. Still, he didn't call her on it and instead focused on the question directed at him.
Swallowing a large amount of food in one exaggerated gulp, Rin pondered his answer for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "Nah, I haven't really give it much thought...I've thought about after graduation, sorta, but not the actual ceremony, or anythin'. I figure that right now, I can't really afford to be thinking much about the future. Guess if you worry too much about the past, you get stuck in it and can't move forward, but if you think too much about the future...Well, it's a little scary sometimes, and it's hard to imagine something existing beyond today, y'know? Anyway, I don't really care what it's like, as long as I actually get there."
Everyone present knew that Rin's goals were hardly the simplest of destinations: reaching the title of Paladin was not easy feat, let alone 'kicking Satan's ass.' It really must be a little daunting sometimes to think about all the work that entailed. There was no question as to why someone so simple minded as Rin would choose instead to focus on the moment instead of considering a projected future, even if he were overeager to reach that distant point.
"What about you, Hayley...? You said you had that dream last night about it, but do ya actually think that's something that'll happen, or what?" And thus, he turned the attention back on her so no one would notice that he was slowly filching more food out of Yukio's bento and stuffing his face some more.
