A very short piece that I actually wrote on my mobile phone. I have no idea what came over me... except that it's genderbending again and I have always been a fan of that.
There might be more in the future - equally short pieces for the other guardians, but so far i have not written anything else.
Night Rain
Yamamoto Amaya knew, that her name fit her exceptionally well, even if people disagreed with her constantly.
They would state, that simply because she was the rain guardian did not mean that she was like the rain that fell only at night. She was bright and cheerful and it was her smile that made people feel so much better.
She should be like the rain that fell on a sunny day, causing rainbows and bringing joy.
Maybe they saw her like that, but she did not.
When she had laid down her baseball bat and picked up the sword, when she had faced a man who would kill her without an ounce of regret and even when she had been confronted with a future gone to hell – she had always known that she was not meant to be like the sun.
She was not meant to warm the sky and bring him happiness, but she would stand with him still.
She was Amaya, the night rain, that fell forever hidden away from the sun he loved so deeply and even when she washed away all his troubles away, she knew, she could never compare. That was fine with her, night rain wasn't supposed to be seen anyway, it was enough for her that her sky was there with her, even if he did not see her and would never watch her the way he watched the sun.
