United After So Long
Her heart pounded in her chest as she stared at the closed door in front of her, mentally willing it to open. In her hand she held a scrap piece of paper tightly, her knuckles turning white slightly. Even through her legs felt like jelly and her mind yelled at her to turn and run before he could show up she ignored all of her feelings, she ignored the little voice inside of her head. Instead she listened to the voice in her heart.
'I hope he will let me travel with him like the old days once again' Machika thought as her nervous began to grow inside of her. 'No. I cannot let Rain get away from me this time! If he wanted nothing to do with me than why did he send me this note for?'
Glancing down at the note that was like gold dust to her Machika suddenly found herself staring into the familiar eyes of a concerned Kiki. Offering her companion a weak smile Machika reached down with her free hand and ran a tender hand over Kiki's fur making the cat like angel purr softly.
"Everything is going to be alright, the worse that can happen is that Rain will say no to us being a trio again," Machika said softly as she continued to stroke Kiki, more for her own nerves rather than anything else. "But he sent us a letter...well note...but he sent word to us, he must want to get in contact with us for some reason. Rain would never put us in danger on purpose like this so I know it cannot be anything truly bad...I guess that we will just have to wait and see."
"Do not worry, he will turn up," Kiki said in a reassuring tone while gently rubbing his head against Machika's leg. "Rain would not lead you on, he is not the type of man who would do something like that! Besides, when the three of us where travelling and going on adventures together we were all having so much fun and I know that Rain was too!"
"Thank you Kiki," Machika whispered out softly only for her whole body to tense as the sound of the door handle being turned came to her ears. "It sounds like we will find out why Rain finally told us his location after so many years of searching for him."
Silently Kiki nodded his head and turned to face the door. As the light slowly filtered into the dark room as the person on the other side slowly open it Kiki leant his body against Machika, offering silent support, while crouching down low into an attack position. It was better to be safe than sorry.
The door slowly creaked open alerting Machika that the person on the other side was just as nervous about their meeting as she was. As the door opened fully Machika blinked a few times at the bright light before speaking his name.
"Rain?"
