A Place To Belong (Book #1)

Chapter 15

Previously...

    Rin nodded.

    "And hide your tail, people will stare" Gojo said as he walked off.

    Rin tucked his tail and ran after Gojo. Rin was having fun to be honest.

Continuing...

With Gojo

    Gojo waited patiently for the young Rin Okumura. 

    " I wonder how he'll deal with it" Gojo said to himself. 

   After a while, he saw the curse jumping from the building. He just stood where he was and waited. Next thing he knows, it bursts up in bright blue flames. Gojo had to step back a bit as he felt the heat from it.

   "Oh, quite interesting" He said as he watched the curse yell out in pain and frustration. 

   Soon the curse was nothing but ashes and the blue flame was gone. Gojo stood over it. He wondered if it would piece itself back together. But it didn't. 

   "Ah, he burned it to a crisp" Gojo said with pure amusement.

   He saw Rin standing over the broken hole in the wall. Gojo couldn't help but smile brightly at the boy.

   "Haha! So you are crazy then! I felt the heat!" Gojo said.

    Gojo saw Rin sigh. Rin jumped from the spot and walked to Gojo to stand over the ashes with him.

    'This boy could be something in the future. I can't wait to see' Gojo thought to himself.

    As soon as the ashes disappeared, showing Rin had successfully defeated the curse. Gojo put his hand on Rin's head.

    "Gotta hand it to you, I think other than Nobara, doing a trick like that, kind of brutal and crazy, it's perfect!" He said.

   "Nobara also did something like that?" Rin asked.

   Gojo proceeded to tell Rin what he saw happened to the Curse that Nobara killed from his point of view. Gojo could tell that Rin was impressed.

   "So, how did you deal with that curse? Was it easy, just right? Or was it hard?" Gojo asked.

    "I'd say a little on the easy side" Rin said.

    Rin then told Gojo how he dealt with it.

    "Excellent, ok, lets go find one more to kill, then we'll head back. Alright?"

     Rin nodded "And hide your tail, people will stare" Gojo said as he walked off Gojo knew that he was going to be a powerful Jujutsu Sorcerer.

    Gojo was excited that Rin was his student. He knew all of his students had great and probably some hidden talents. Rin jogged up to Gojo till they both were walking side by side.

    Rin finished killing another Curse, but with Gojo there to witness it this time. Rin was sure out of breath as Gojo led Rin to a much harder one. The end result of the battle? Curse being burned to a crisp.

    Rin faced Gojo as he clapped his hands. Rin walked up to Gojo while putting his sword back in its case, getting rid of the blue flames. 

    "Good work Rin, lets head back to the school, the principal should be awake by now" He said. 

    Rin agreed as they began walking back there. Gojo gave Rin some food as a reward for defeating those curses. They soon made it to the school and walked in. Rin was frozen in place as he saw what would be an intimidating guy surrounded by... Dolls?

    'This is the principal?' Rin thought.

   "Another one?" The guy asked.

   Gojo smiled "I think he's promising" He said.

   The guy seemed to be in thought. He stood up and walked to Rin. He stopped walking once he stood in front of Rin. Rin gulped. 

   "Why do you want to be a Jujutsu sorcerer?" He asked in a deep and intimidating voice.

    He towered over poor Rin. He felt his legs shaking a bit, but he took a deep breath and answered. Maybe he'd accept an honest answer?

   "I want to be a Jujutsu sorcerer to help people... And maybe to run away from where I used to live" Rin answered honestly.

    "To run away? Why?" He asked once again.

    "Something happened that shouldn't have happened" Rin said, telling the truth without telling the truth. 

   The principal turned around and walked away. Rin thought he was done when all of a sudden. He was hit in the face by a raging doll that acted like Rin just stole the last ice cream cone. Rin went flying back. He crashed into the wall and held his chin.

   "What the hell?!" Rin faced the doll.

   Both Rin and the doll glared at each other. 

   "I'm going to keep attacking you till I get more of a reasonable answer from you, other than just running away from something that happened" He said as he sat down. 

   Rin stood up getting ready to dodge its next attack. A more reasonable answer? What did he mean. The thing charged at Rin once again and Rin jumped out of the way.

   "Ok fine!" Rin said all the while trying to avoid getting hit.

  "When I first saw a curse, I was scared, my friends were hurt! I couldn't just stand there and do nothing!" Rin said as he managed to drop kick the aggressive doll away from him. 

   Rin saw Gojo from the corner of his eye. He faced him and Gojo made a signal. Rin knew. The doll came after him and Rin set his hand on the handle of his sword, ready to draw it out.

   "I knew nothing of these curses or cursed energy! But none the less! I ran into battle" Rin pulled out his sword, covering himself with his flames and the doll froze in its place by the sudden brightness and powerful heat.

   "And I helped my friends! Even if it cost my life" Rin said. 

   The principal stared at Rin. Rin couldn't tell what face he was making with his sunglasses looking things on his face. He called back his doll and Rin put his sword away. 

    "Who would've known, I've seen those flames of yours. Are you Satan's kid?" He asked.

    "Unfortunately, yes" Rin said.

    There was silence. 

     "Gojo, if you haven't already, lead him to our dorms" He said facing Gojo.

     Rin was confused "I have already" He said.

    He faced Rin "Welcome to the Jujutsu school Rin" He said.

    Rin was shocked, but then turned it into a happy face. 

    "Thank you sir!"
