[Red River Boarding School]

*Rave smiled.* "So who is our other roommate?"

Natsumi blinked a bit as she pointed to a picture on the other bed. It was of Ayuka, clearly the person in the dorm. She smiled a little as she sat down upon her own bed, hugging a teddy bear.

*Rave smacked her forehead. This was frustarting.* "Ya know you could have just talked. It won't hurt you." *Rave sighed and pulled down her hood. She gentley put some out of place hair behind her ears, which revealed that they were pointed. "So what race are you, I can tell you're not human."

Natsumi looked down, shy to answer. She mumbled softly, "Cat..." She didn't like to talk and was a little annoyed that she had to. She pushed her feelings back and looked at Rave with a small grin, it was small but true.

"Cat, huh? Cool. Don't tell anyone but I'm an interdemsional demon. Not many people would quite understand what it meant. So where are you from anyways?"

Natsumi pinned her ears down, her eyes filling with pain. "... London." She turned away and plopped her head on her pillow. Thinking of home brought back too many memories. She lost her home long ago. She had no home, no family, just a pretend life.

*Rave filched, sensing Natsumi's emotions.* "I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you. You know if you don't want to talk out loud we could talk through my telepathy, if you want to that is."

Natsumi blinked. What was telll-a-pathh-eee? She tried to understand but couldn't manage as she slowly rose her head from the pillow. She nodded a bit, though having no idea what Rave had been talking about.

"Okay." *Rave entered Natsumi's mind and made it so they could hear each other's thoughts.* "Can you hear me?"

Natsumi jumped and her tail fluffed out. She went soaring into the air and then landed on the bed with an "oof". She blinked and looked at Rave in shock. "How is she talking to me?"

"Obviously don't know what telepathy is. I'm speaking to you through your mind. Don't worry I can't harm you."

Natsumi nodded slowly as her voice trembled, even in her thoughts. "O... Okay. I... I dont quite understand. Why can I hear you in my head?"

(Recap Please)

It's one of my powers to enter people's mind and talk to them. I'm sorry if I startled you but I thought you knew what telepathy is.

"I... It's ok, you didn't scare me." She looked down at her hands, fidling her thumbs nervously.

((That would be me.))

So what do you want to talk about?

Natsumi shrugged. "I dont know, you were the one who popped into my head. Where are you from?" She looked at the clock, worried she'd be late for her next class and looking forward to maybe seeing Tom again in the hall.

"Oh.. I'm not really sure where I'm originally from, but now I live with a couple of foster parents in NYC. I swear that they hate me, I don't know why I just don't run away from there and never return.

"Do not run away. I would miss you and Ayuka would too."

"Okay, I won't run away. So what is your next class anyways?"
