The sound of rain droplets filled the night air, drowning out any noise coming from anywhere. It was obvious there was a lot, it was muffled unbelievably, but the exact contents were completely unknown. The raindrops kept anyone from seeing more than a foot in front of them. No matter how bad someone might have strained it would be for a lost cause. The only possible thing you'd see would be the ongoing rain. Not even the lights were able to shine through the heavy downfall.

"Yuki, you understand once you go you can't come back...right?"

A child's voice penetrated the heavy rain, innocent and loving. But, there was an underlying evil. Through the little giggle given one would be able to hear the darkness in that small being. That young...thing...

"If you go, no matter how much you cry, you'll never come back! It'll just be us! They'll refuse us if we come back! You know that, right?!"

The child's voice took on a crazed sort of tone. If someone passed they'd be able to see only two objects: a young boy with shaggy black hair, a white tee, and blue jeans; a girl with two brown pigtails, a pretty blue dress, and a black shirt underneath. The two children were out of place, innocent in the large city. They'd strayed far from their home hours ago.

"Hey, Yuki...When we get there we'll be able to have all the candy we want! No one can tell us 'no' anymore!"

The boy spread his arms out, as if to embrace the world. He spun a few times before placing his hands on the girls shoulders, giving her a small shake. That huge, crazed grin grew even larger as he pulled the girl into a tight hug.

"Yeah, it'll just be the two of us! Come on, the train is going to leave if we don't hurry...Do you understand, Yuki? We have to get going!"

The boy gave one last giggle before leading the girl through the rain. They both laughed, stomping through the growing puddles and splashing at the people they passed. Of course, they received a few grunts of annoyance and distaste, a few people even muttered a couple of things about how terrible the upbringing of the kids were. But, the two didn't care. They held suitcases with all of their belongings, swinging them as they skipped along the sidewalk.

About five minutes later the two arrived at the Shinjuku Station, immediately boarding the Ome Line. Since it was a little after one in the morning the line was pretty empty. That in itself was unusual but the kids figured it was because of the weather. Not many people would venture out into weathers this bad. Rain wasn't a problem in Japan, not until it obscured your vision completely, anyway.

"So, Yuki! When we get there we're gonna have lots of fun, right?! We're gonna solve all kinds of mysteries! It'll be just like in the books!"

"Yeah...right...Just like in the books..."

The rain assaulted the ground, covering all in its icy embrace. Amongst the many people rushing to get out of the downpour stood a teenage girl, her short brown hair covering her face as she tilted her head back to look at the sky. It was dark and clouded yet she felt as though it was nothing compared to how she felt on the inside.

A sigh slipped from her naturally pouty lips as she turned on her heel, tightening her grip on the book in her hand. As she walked she noticed heads turning to get better looks at her but she ignored them completely. Her eyes were instead transfixed on the ground in front of her. She coouldn't bear looking at anyone, especially not when there were annoying lights everywhere she looked. All she could do was wander the streets with her head down.

"Do you think we'll find him here?"

She spoke in a gentle voice, almost a breath, as she paced herself. Beside her, she felt the presence of someone walking alongside her. When she looked up she was greeted by a boy who looked maybe a year older than her with spiked black hair and fascinating black eyes. His eyes were wide and his skin was pale but the girl felt a strange attraction to him.

It wasn't until they came to a stop in an alley until she actually tried shaking her hair out a bit, sure not to get any water on the notebook in her hand. As her hair fell in place around her face she closed her eyes, tilting her head back to feel the few drops of rain that crept between the tall buildings she'd taken refuge between.

"I have a really good feeling about this...What about you?"

Her voice grew a little happier as she turned on her heel to look at the boy full on. Now that she had a full view she could see his baggy white t-shirt and loose blue jeans. Despite the fact he had no umbrella the boy remained perfectly dry.

His eyes, once fixated on the muddy ground, now turned to focus on the girl. He let out a deep sigh, lifting a hand to push back his hair and reveal a scar on his forehead.

"Should be...We've checked everywhere else..."

The girl let out a small squeal followed by a giggle. It started low but slowly grew until it resonated off of the alleywalls and echoed into her ears. She sounded like a madwoman, the girl realized. This caused her to immediately stop laughing, instead allowing her body to tremble.

"I'm happy..."

She leaned against the alleywall, shrouding her entire body in the shadow of the alley.

"I'm finally going to meet him...!"

A tremble shook her small, frail body as her body went limp.

"I just can't wait to meet him..."

She pushed her hair back a bit, her head still down and her eyes shut.

"To meet...Kira..."

She tilted her head up, allowing her red eyes to shine in the otherwise dark alley. Her smile had vanished long ago, now leaving the face of a young girl with those special eyes...
