Fire & Flames

Rage, wrath, destruction; what was Narumi feeling? He felt as if he was going to burst out and set fire to the world. Not that he hated the world. It was just that some people in existence needed to be terminated from the spectrum of lives for their stupidity, ignorance, and their outright hateful bigotry. Recently, his days have been uneventful, it's just not so surprising that he's feeling like a piece of shit right now. His face, gloomy with what could be identified as a combination of anger and sorrow. Why did he feel sad? He had no idea. For some reason, whenever he felt angry, he automatically felt sad as well.

He looked up to the sky, eyeing the dreadful and mind-boggling dark clouds looming over the town. He scoffed, shaking his head. "Sometimes, I wonder why I even try. All I wanted was to have fun, but suddenly people are chasing after me one-by-one - even in groups! - just for the sake of killing me. It wasn't my fault that I was ousted from the K-World for being an immature prick," Narumi sighed, realizing that he should just ignore the inevitable retrospect, which was just the silly way to say that he did not care, even though it was quite obvious that he did.

He slowly walked into the green lushy area that was Karakura Forest, an area slightly isolated from the city, that can allow people to think and regain their normal senses back. Quickly, he jumped on a large tree and hopped from one to another continuously for like a minute until he felt like he was a lot more further from the city. He desperately needed time for himself. School wasn't his priority right now. He needed to become himself again. Cheery, upbeat, and strong... maybe immature? Probably not right now.

Narumi suddenly witnessed a boy sitting underneath a tree, watching the weather as if expecting something. A storm, probably. The guy though... he looked oddly familiar and... different than the rest of the teenagers in his age range.

Narumi wasn't trying to hide his presence. He wasn't necessarily trying to scream out that he was there and that the boy should outright look for him, but just make him aware that someone was around him. The boy thought about the chances of meeting someone here, someone that felt extremely familiar and similar to him in almost every essence possible. He mentally sighed, standing on top of a sturdy tree branch still, waiting until the boy actually acknowledged that he was around.

He huffed a breath real quick, shaking his head, suddenly receiving a response from the teenager on the ground surface. The rain was making Narumi less visible and he decided to use it for his advantage. "Hi there! Who're you?" Narumi's eyes quickly went orange for a second as he leaned against the tree trunk, and sliding down whilst still on the branch.

The rain was hazardously thick, and Narumi couldn't thank it enough. It shrouded him in the dark well, and with the help of a damp tree trunk, it kept him practically invisible. He sniffed himself making sure that he wasn't riddled with an odd scent that could attract large cockroaches, aka he didn't want to be stinky. He did take a bath though so he wondered why he was even thinking about his scent in the first place. Perhaps because the boy in front of him seemed different. Human, but different.

When the guy incidentally hit his head on a tree as a response to Narumi's introduction, the Ifrit-boy couldn't help but blink, a large blob of sweat dropping comically down the side of his head. He squinted his eye at the boy, his first impression; the boy was stupid - seemingly in his own good way - if being stupid and naive can be a good thing that is. Narumi extended a single part of his claw real quickly, carving something on the tree that he's on very silently, even though the rain was covering up any background noises.

"Rin? Kind of a generic nam-" The boy slipped. What. Can someone be really that clumsy while standing up? The 'squelch' noise didn't help his case, but rather amplify his overall derpiness. "Uh.." He cleared his throat, loud enough for Rin to hear. "I'm Narumi! Just curious. What are you?" He asked curiously.

Narumi decided that it was time to reveal his appearance, jumping down from the tree branch effectively onto the now-muddy, grassy surface. His feet refused to sink through the dampness, seemingly solidifying another sheet of layer to walk on above the disturbingly disgusting environment right now. He hated rain - most of the time - due to the humidity that it brought with itself afterwards. It was nice that it cleaned up the area, but the feeling of sweating while not really sweating? Not exactly a good definition as to what's fun.

"Casual? I don't think so. You seem different." He eyed the boy, noting that Rin was taller than him by several inches, making his face scrunch up a bit. "And you're taller than me. He sighed, leaning against the tree, this time in Rin's sight of range even through the thick needles of rain stabbing the ground.

"Same as me, huh?" Narumi instantly got the idea as he inspected Rin from this range, tilting his head to the right with a smirk on his face. Another guy like him, someone with seemingly demon blood in him. It wasn't that hard to see. Hard to smell. Hard to sense. At all.

"And I'm not going home. Not yet anyway."
