Black Rain

Prolouge

Klop....klop....klop.....klop....

The sound of footsteps could be heard, in a world enveloped in darkness. Everything was black.....it was dark. A man turned towards the sound. He had dark, onyx hair, and he wore a red and black full-body length jacket, zipped up, adding more to the sinister aura he emitted.

"Ah, so you came." He said, his voice warm but evil.

The footsteps stopped, and the new figure lighted the area faintly with a black flame. It was a boy, hardly over 14. He had freezing blue hair, lined with blazing red streaks throughout the boy's head, and he wore a blood red robe. But, the most amazing feature was his eyes. They were red, with a blue ring around the iris, and it's glare was cold and sharp. And in those mysterious orbs, anyone could see, that that boy had seen more than a fully grown man would ever see in his lifetime. Pain, treachery, death...

Then the boy spoke. His voice was as piercing as his eyes. "Jinto. Why have you called me." In truth, he knew why. He would either have to kill someone, or abduct them, maybe the occasional both.

"Ah, now now. Don't be like that, Kinkao-kun." Jinto said, running his hand through his hair. "I have a job for you."

"Why am I not surprised." His voice was emotionless, and always monotone. But still cold.

"Now, should we get down to business?"

"Hm."

"There are some....humans I want you to capture."

He raised an eyebrow. "Humans....you say. Aah. And who would they be."

"Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, the Elemental Nations Dimension. Edward and Alphonse Elric in the Alchemic Dimension. Kenshin Himura and Sagara Sanosuke from the Meji Dimension, and Inuyasha and Kagome Higurashi from the Feudal Dimension." Jinto said, while a holographic image of each person popped up as he listed them off.

Kinkao closed his eyes. "Understood....the deadline?"

"Next month."

And with that, he disappeared.

"KAKASHI-SENSEI YOU'RE LATE!!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!" Naruto bellowed at his sensei, who was again, 3 hours late to meet their team,Team 7. Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha. "Ah, sorry. A black cat crossed my path..." "YOU LIAR!!!" Naruto and Sakura yelled. Sasuke simply sat there in silence, looking obvlious from everyone else.

Ed sighed and collapsed into a bed in the recently rented room in an inn. A suit of living armor walked in the door. "Hey, Al." Ed said to his brother, Alphonse Elric. "Nee-san, what's wrong? You seem sadder today." "Sorry Al. It's just....I have a feeling the next few days are going to be heck." Al sat on the bed next to Ed's. "Well, whatever comes our way, let's get through it together, Nee-san." Ed opened his eyes, and smiled. "Yeah..."

"Kenshin! Could you go out to get some Tofu, please?" Karou yelled to the red-head. "Of course, Karou-dono." And so he set off. In the market, he found Sanosuke walking out of the Akabeko. "Oh, Kenshin! Buyin' Groceries?" "Just some Tofu, Sano." "Yosh, I'll come with you." Kenshin smiled, and they went on their way for the Tofu. 'Why does this one have a bad feeling...? I hope sessha's presumptions are incorrect...'

The Inuyasha group walked along the dirt road, until they saw the village that they had been so used to. There they found Priestess Kaede. "Kaede! We're back!" Kagome said, cheerfully. "Welcome back, Kagome, Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo. Did you make any luck?" "Unfortunately, no. We couldn't find the Sacred Jewel Shards, or Naraku." "Ah....I see. Well, feel free to rest up for as long as you like, my dear. I have a feeling that things are going to be rough from now on..."

"...Aah...so innocent....yet strong enough for Jinto to send me...mn." Kinkao said, his voice as chilly as ever. He was watching the people he was ordered to capture. Suddenly, another man appeared behind him, in a kneeling position. "Kinkao-sama." "Aah. Hieko." The man raised his head, revealing a set of golden eyes on a pale face, with long, dark, purple hair framing them. Hieko wore a dark purple and black T-shirt, with a pair of black pants.

"Hieko, I want you to capture Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, and send Lako and Sakki to the Feudal and Alchemic Dimensions. I will be in the Meji Dimension. Gather in Sector 17 in Gikado."

"Yes, sir."

Hieko disappeared, and Kinkao went back to watching their victims. He watched them, the images swimming, reflecting into his eyes. Sometimes watching such innocence...brought him back, out of the skin known as Kinkao Yuuji, the Mercilless Murderer.
