Rin caught the nod, but in the same beat he caught the other teen's distraction and how close the one in the mask came to hitting him. He hesitated, but a cry from the group he was trying to escort wheeled his attention back around.

Those damned creatures! They had hopped the counter after them and in Rin's own distraction had managed to corner the people.

"Goddamnit! Back off you bastards!" he barked. This wasn't working. They were just getting back up, again and again. Even if they escaped, there was a chance they would be chased even out of the shop.

He gripped his sword tightly and yanked it out, blue flames erupting around his body. He let out a deep breath and focused, aiming those flames at the creatures. It hit, and while they weren't destroyed it certainly sent them running.

Back at him.

Shit.

Two swings with the flaming sword and they were destroyed, and Rin grabbed the first person he was closest too and shoved them at the back door, which got the others moving again.

"Go! Get away from here!"

And the were out. He slammed the door shut, knowing that it was up to them to get away. That still left the blonde kid with the masked one, and the way the fight was going Rin just couldn't leave him there.
