BFFN (best friends for never)

Rin didn't exactly know much peace, even outside of trials. She lived in constant paranoia and agony, everywhere she went.. She could see him peering out of the corner for her eye, but everytime she turned her head to his direction. He had dissapeared. It was a constant cycle, Rin tried to tell herself to get over it.. That it was all in her head and that father wouldn't allow himself to be seen. Not like that. Not so obvious. All of Rin's desperately pleas with her mind never worked and thus, she lived on edge, ready at every moment to pounce. 

So imagine Rin's surprise when she heard an unfamiliar and startling beeping.

Rin quickly turned her head towards the noise, she was sat in the living room of somewhere she once called home. This was no longer home, not with the bloodstained walls and the presence of Kazan Yamaoka lingering around. Rin was quick to retrieve her katana from her hand and make her way out of the home. It took her awhile to find anything of interest, but eventually she saw a.. somewhat familiar figure in the distance. She recognized the hoodie, at least the silhouette of it. Anger rising up in her, ready to boil over at any minute. What did he have any buisness doing here? Weren't there four of them? Were the other three here and were they going to hurt her? No. They weren't. They weren't that dumb.. Didn't seem that violent either. 

And like that, Rin Yamaoka seemed to vanish into air. Entering a new realm of exsistence, completely undeteacted by killers and survivors alike. It was a quick travel as she would quickly find herself in close earshot of the other boy. Reappearing back into exsistence, Rin attempted to keep a stern and intimidating demeanor to her.. But she was quick to realize that, this could be a losing battle if she didn't play it right. The boy infront of her must have been at least a foot taller? Maybe more, She couldn't give an exact guess. 


"I would assume you know how rude it is to walk in uninvited? Could have left your shoes at the door at least." A weak attempt at sarcasm that still managed to get a giggle out of herself. She cleared her throat to keep herself from going into a laughing fit over her own joke. "Answer me!.. Please." At first her voice was demanding, but soon that demanding yell turned into.. a pleading whisper.

Before her, one of the legion members was sat on the ground. Falling flat on his ass like he had seen a ghost, oh wait. He had. Much to Rin's shock however, the legionnaire pulled down his mask... Revealing his face to her. Had this been the first time she had seen it? That didn't seem right but it was all that made sense. She didn't remember his face, maybe it had been a while but.. she never stayed around the legion long enough to even remember their names. If she had to make a guess, this one would be Joey. Frank didn't fit the dork sat infront of her. 

"Hello." She said plainly. As she listened to his story, her face began to sour. It wasn't like she didn't believe him, she had no reason not too but she didn't really have a reason to believe him either, did she? She didn't think so at least but for now she'd interrogate, wait for a falter in his story. No falter? He's telling the truth and she can pretend to actually care and thank him for saving her nonexsistent life, so what if someone had come in? It's not like she can't hold her own...like she wouldn't come back incase something happened. 

"Really now? Tell me then, Joey. Who was it..? How did you heroically save me?" Her voice was filled with a mix of genuine curiosity and sarcasm. She wasn't going to let her guard down yet, but she would be lying if she said he wasn't at least convincing of what he was saying. 

Rin watched as the legion member dug a hole for himself. Of course she hadn’t believed him, not that she could tell that he was lying.. cause really she couldn’t. He seemed genuine enough but why was he here in the first place? Surely he could have passed through anywhere else to find his way to ormond. Rin wasn’t sure his intentions but she never trusted anyone anymore, everyone had nefarious intent.

Rin looked at the pager, that part of his story seemed true so.. maybe the rest of it was to. What would he get from lying anyway? If Rin found out he was lying, he’d be driven out of the estate within minutes.. would he really want to be risking himself to talk to her? To visit the estate. She never thought the estate was that popular, certainly wasn’t when she was living in it. 

Of course, Rin didn’t take his hand. She stared at it and made a face, one of disgust and anger. “You can get up yourself. You’re the big hero aren’t you?”
