The sound of the rain shut the whole city's noise, the road, the streets, everything. There was nothing but the calm continuous sound of the water pouring down to the ground. Slow and fast, low and loud. It was a quiet cold solemn night that no one dared to break. Not even the shameful acts of the majority of people in their night activities. There was nothing that echoed but the sound of the rain. An uncommon but not a rare night that even Asami Ryuichi chose to settled at his humble home. He was on his dark blue robe, sipping a fine brand of whisky warming his gelid core. The window that as big as his wall showed the zero visibility of his once breath taking scenery because of the down fall. Hence, Asami enjoyed it. The grayness of it was enough for him to be calm just like the darkness of his surrounding. There was a feeling of satisfaction whenever he felt there was no one who could see him in the total lightness of the situation. He felt invincible and yet powerful.
The man who has become a tycoon over the years just like a dragon that roared up in the sky despite of the protest of the little people underneath it. He was feared of what he could do or become if provoked but he was also admired not because of his wealth and power but because of his appearance. A dragon that was so beautiful, grace and so as deadly.
Lethal as what others say of him. But Asami paid them no mind. He won't stop conquering the land just because some people doesn't approve of him or his ways, he dominated them because he was Asami Ryuichi.
He was a dragon that overpowered even the sky. The vast empty sky that covered the humankind. The same sky that kept on weeping because Asami Ryuichi loved it.
He loved it when sky cry, because he knew it was weeping for him. Only for him.
The waves were angry, splashing and hitting anything that it could reach. The sea was not at rest, letting his huge waves show off the power of what they could do when they were free. The winds were furious shouting everywhere and the storm kept on getting stronger.
The sky was gray and lonely. Sad for what the storm has done to the people who were living near the shore. The sky that was weeping through his little rain however, the sky could not stop the storm and the fast lightning, that mostly scared the little people who used to worship the Gods for good fortune.
Raijin was angry so he continued to wreck everything he felt destroying. He unleashed his temper to the place he knew the little God of Rain favored. The God of the Sea could do nothing but abide for he also felt that it must be done. Because both Gods knew that the little God of Rain must learn a lesson.
A lesson that he mustn't take an interest to anything that wasn't a God.
The little God of Rain was a sweet generous one that loved the people who sincerely prayed for him as he unselfishly watered the plants and crops of the his believers. He was enjoying it, loving every second of it just like the children who played under the light warm rain. The laughs of the little ones as they dance to their heart's content. He was satisfied until he felt a little hole inside him. The God of Rain felt incomplete. He doesn't knew why but he just did. He felt on thinking what was it until he forgot to answer the prayer of his people. Days and weeks had passed but there was still no rain on the little village near the shore. Weeks turned into a month and there was still no water coming from the sky. The God of Sun also noticed it but he paid no mind. He liked showing off his good color, his light, so he made his Sun brighter than anyone else.
The God of Sea got worried, his own water was getting warm because of the excess brightness of the Sun. He could not take it so he asked the little God of Rain, why? Yet he has no answer. He just showed his hole from his core. Concerned, the God of Sea made a suggestion, 'Why not look for your answer?'.
'How?' Asked by the God of Rain.
'Descend, take a form and look from the perception of the under.' Said the God of Sea.
'Is it allowed?'
'Yes, if it is necessary but no, if it is made personal.'
'Have you already done it?' Curious mind of the God of Rain.
'Yes.'
'Did you find it?'
'I never said I was looking for something.'
'Then what was it?'
But the God of Sea did not gave his answer. The little God of Rain has still more questions but the sadness he saw on the other God was enough for him to stop himself.
Not wasting anymore of the moment, the God of Rain descended and took a form. He did not know what to do so he let himself be transformed into a young one. Not so young yet not so old. He took the clothing just like the villagers has and started roaming. Curious minds started to noticed him but they still did not approached him. Scared of what he might have done, the little God of Rain ran to the shore to ask the Sea for answer but the God was not there. It was then he saw his own reflection. The God of Rain was a pale young man, with a near white long hair that enlightened his deep blue eyes. Blue eyes that reminded him of the rain he used to make, the once blue water that helped the people who believed in him and was still waiting for him to answer their prayers.
Standing up, he remembered the reason of his coming down.
'Who are you?'
Suddenly a deep voice from behind asked him. Not knowing what to answer, the God of Rain just turned and faced the one who asked him. It was a man from the village. So tall, dark and enticing. The aura around him reminded him a certain God who always had an authority around him. The man felt like a God than he was.
'Who are you?' He repeated.
When he repeated the question for the third time, he started to walk into him which made the God of Rain panicked. Another step from the man and the Rain suddenly ran off away from the man. The man may be curious to who he was, he did not indulged himself into running after him, after all, he has a new born baby to look-up to.
The God of Rain was far enough when he stopped his feet. He looked back and saw nothing. It was still the vast horizon of the sea and the deadly rays of the Sun…and the man who slowly walked back to his village. Curiosity got him to why he didn't give the answer he was asking earlier. Why? Why not? Because I am a God? And he is a mortal? Why? The hole inside him grew bigger and bigger and the desperation for a solution also went deeper. So, he took back the distance and started to walk back to the place where he encountered the man.
'THIS WILL BE YOUR LESSON, LITTLE RAIN!' Screamed by the angry Raijin giving his wrath to the village near the shore.
The God of Rain wept and wept but his little cry would do nothing because it was too late. His action was done and there's was nothing he can anymore to bring back the life of the one he took.
The waves also participated and the Sea started to consume the land until it was drowning down the village.
'STOP! PLEASE STOP!' He pleaded as the cry for help reached him. Prayers of the people he once adored which he could no longer answer for he was powerless to the strong Raijin.
'You brought this upon yourself God of Rain. You killed an innocent for your own self.'
'And you're killing everyone because of it!' He answered back to the God of Sea.
'It's the only way, child. You must learn your lesson.'
And the God of Sea flooded himself to the helpless people ending their misery lives.
No. No. No. No. No. NO!
With his last ounce of power, God of Rain took his mortal form and fell from the sky towards the drowning man he cared for. He came to his aid when the sea water swamped over the man that it started to drain his energy and air. The man may be tough but the pressure of the angry Gods were nowhere in comparison to anyone even to God of Rain and especially to a mortal. The man was getting deeper and deeper, hopelessly just drowning like everyone else barely conscious to what was happening around him. His toned and lean body was useless for he could not even use it to lift himself, not even fighting the current of the water that was pulling him down to the endless bottom of the swamp.
Until the God of the Rain, fragile and small, took the heavy body out of the water and into the surface. Incapable of doing furthermore, the God of Rain just made themselves float together with the lifeless bodies of the villagers.
The water seemed endless yet the little God of Rain did whatever it took to save the man he cared for. He knew his power was draining and only one of them would survive the tragedy so, with everything he had, the God of Rain centered his energy, life and power, and grabbed the nearly unconscious man to his embrace and kissed him. The lips of the man was cold and trembling but the power that the Rain God bestowing upon him slowly melted it all away. The man's body started to get warm and strong as his arms started to grip the small waist of the mortal form of the God of Rain. The simple transfer of power in the form of kiss turned into a much deeper one as the man took over it. They were tasting each other as if it was their first kiss, memorizing each other's taste like it was the last thing they'll ever do, alive. The God of Rain knew his power had reached its last drop and he already transferred it all to the man for his survival. He was happy because he knew he had just given the man an immortal life, not because of the purpose of having one but to survive the great flood and yet sad, because it'll be his last form of existent. The God of Rain had see it coming ever since he took his mortal form and helped the man, he might lose his Godliness but in return, he had save the man who taught him the purpose of his life. Their encounter might be short but it was all worth it.
'Please don't forget me.' He said when the kiss broke.
'I won't.' The man answered furiously.
'Remember me as the God in the sky that stole everything from you, Ryuichi. Goodbye.' And the God of Rain slowly turned into water joining the angry waves of the sea water.
The storm and flood lasted for days washing everything the Gods had spotted. Getting everything back to their origin and yet, they couldn't take it all.
A man had survived. A man that was supposedly be dead but he was not. A man their little God had exchanged his position in heaven just to make sure he survived. A man they didn't know that was once the powerful dragon in the dark sky.
