Rin was surprised when Edward suddenly grabs his wrist, dragging him after into a narrow alleyway, surprised to see someone pass by out on the street. They had a shadowy look to them, rather shady and suspicious in Rin's opinion. After a moment goes by, they leave the alleyway and trail after the stranger, and a few minutes later Edward stops the guy in his tracks, hooking his scythe around the guy's neck. Rin was shocked by what was going on, however, he was more than ready to put up a fight. But for now, he stands a bit back, letting Edward deal with what was going on right then. He'd only get involved if he really needed to.<br/><br/>When Edward speaks up, saying something about how he'd been following them for a while, the energy being sapped from the body, nothing happened at first. However, no matter how much energy was siphoned off, the person standing before Edward didn't seem to be phased at all. In fact, after a few minutes pass, the person begins to chuckle softly, and it was odd, as it had a sort of hissing sound to it. The chuckles grow louder until they were laughing loudly.<br/><br/>And in an instant, the visage of a person melts away, as the form of an extremely large and long albino snake takes place in front of them, it's eyes blood red. It continued to make a hissing laugh sound, whilst wrapping itself around Edward's body, squeezing more and more tightly. The snake's eyes narrow, a deadly grin upon its serpentine face, tongue flicking out every so often. Just as it seemed that it was going to squeeze the life out of Edward, it suddenly disappears in a puff of smoke. Rin had been frozen in place, shocked by what had happened, unable to move. "What...was...THAT?!" He exclaims, looking to Edward. "Are you alright?"<br/><br/>He says this as he racks his mind to try and remember, anything at all if he knew what had happened. The only thing he could think of was the snakes that one of his teachers, Shura, could summon. But this one had been different from what he'd seen her bring forth. What was going on? And of course, if this person was attacking them, that only meant one thing. They were an enemy. "We need to find this guy and show him what's what." Rin's eyes had gotten a serious look, and a frown tugged at his lips. He wasn't playing around any longer. And the one in the shadows could see this, a big grin forming on their lips. "Good...no more play time. Now for the real fun." The person slips away, dodging this way and that, in order to confuse the two boys. And of course, Kaneme was still out there somewhere.
