Takumi and Ashura's school day

With Ashura closing in, the two appearances dissapeared again. Instead of that, nothing remained. Except for the by now familiar shadow, which was out of synch with the ones the jackets were casting.

He walked towards the shadow and stopped stepping on it.

It fell into several smaller ones, which scurried away, then regathered into one larger, whih then seemed to be rising from the ground and taking form. Slowly, first its hair was visible, then his face, with his bright blue eye, and the rest followed. Eventually, he hovered in front of Ashura, looking at him, not saying anything, or making any sound.

He looked at it and blinked. "What are you and why are you here?" He was ready to fight if he had to.

It replied nothing, but just remained where it was, and kept looking at Ashura. The sound from before was hearable again, a very silent crackle, like electricity being transferred, yet being muzzled at the same time.

He blinked and then grabbed at the red collar on the creature.

In straigth reaction, it flew up in the upper corner of the hallway, staying out of range from Ashura. Still remaining silent in speech, and keeping his eyes fixed on Ashura.

He blinked. "You really think I can't reach you?" He then floated up and grabbed at him again.

Going right through Ashura, he went behind him and turned around. In Ashuras mind, he talked to him. "What are you attacking me for?"

He stopped for a second. "Your acting strange so I don't trust you.

"Then I'll leave." He started to sink into the floor again, just like he appeared from it.

"Why did you come here?"

"I was interested, I observed. You piqued my interest." He stopped halfway down, with half his body in the floor, the rest still materialistic.

"How did I pique your interest?"

" You did, because you are different" He sank away complletely, then rose again from the jackets, out of the wall. Still fixed on Ashura, he kept at distance, but didn't do anything to trigger aggression or anything of such sort.

He turned and headed out of the room and towards the school exit. "That's it I'm done here for now." As he started to leave he held his hand out and a bat flew to him and landed on his finger. "Now then you...I want you to watch Takumi for me and keep an eye out for any dangers and let me know what you see." He let the bat go and it flew towards the window to the class room as he left the school.

The creature returned to his shadow form, and followed Ashura from greater distance. Waiting for an area with closed terrain, where he could easily switch places, he was following Ashura all the way down to god knows where.

He opened a small portal leading to the monster world and stepped through heading towards the Cairron castle leaving the portal open for a bit.

Swiftly going from shadow to shadow, he went through the portal as well, preventing him to have to go through the trouble of making it himself.
