Title: Nothing to do with Rain
It's amazing how things can happen so quickly, you can't even remember how they started. Just like when you make a mistake- you hardly realise you've done so, until it's too late. Just like my life. Trusting others so easily, believing that they were sincere in every single thing they said. Aya once told me I was too naive; that the real world was never like what I thought it to be. He told me...well, actually, he reprimanded me, telling me that I was stupid to think that everyone was 'flat', meaning that they weren't 'two-faced'; they weren't...fake.
Actually, he is right, the way everyone isn't who they first appear to be. People hardly show their true selves, and sometimes, they may not even recognise what is their true personality- their [self]. ...so I guess I had to learn it the hard way.
I still remember it. The day when I had to kill the person whom I had so innocently placed my faith in. He took my trust and threw it carelessly away. Kase...doushite..?! And I had even chosen to not to see the truth- the fact that he was betraying me over and over again, no matter how regretful he seemed. I blinded myself so thoroughly. Just to run away from reality. Is life supposed to be this cruel and...this full of shit?

Raindrops beat mercilessly onto the ground. As if the ground cares. The people do, though... Everyone, rushing for shelter, hurriedly taking their umbrellas out, trying desperately not to get wet. As if it helps. In the end, they still get wet anyway. Someone once said, "It's simple. If you don't wanna get wet in the rain, then take your umbrella out." Maybe. But not on a day like this, when even umbrellas...
Sigh.
Enough of all this, Ken decided. How pathetic of me, standing here, in the middle of nowhere, getting drenched, and talking about the rain. It's my fault that I didn't bring an umbrella. Looks like I'll be catching another cold.
Sigh.
Forget it, I'll just carry on back to the shop. I'm already soaking anyway.
* * *
It's crazy, this stupid life I am forced to live. I probably don't even wanna go on with this pathetic piece of crap. Can't someone just suddenly flare up and run into me with a knife?! I can't believe it. Oh...right, I forgot, everyone's way too busy running from the rain. Just kill me for goodness sake. At least, give me a blade or something.
Amazing, my invincible, unbeatable, enormous, overwhelming telekinetic powers have gone on a strike. Again. Can't stop the raindrops now. Yeah, their too light for my powers to handle.
Shit.
The rain...kinda reminds me of Tot. Tot dying. Because of me. Oh man, why the hell am I thinking about her now? She's gone...dead or alive...just gone. Outta my life. And I actually thought she was cute. Okay, so she was a little sexy, but maybe it was just some silly infatuation. They always nag about it, anyway, in school and in magazines, and all that propaganda, how infatuation isn't love, have safe sex, stay away from drugs...yeah whatever. Can't believe I remember what they teach.
Shit.
All I want is to destroy this damn world... Yeah, me the Brain and my pal, Pinky, the two of us, running around, messing with the world. I'd just love to make all these useless buildings crumble to bits. They're blocking all the sunlight. Uh huh, and sunlight's all I need.. Just the thing to make me feel all happy and cheerful again.
* * *
Rain falls relentlessly, all the way down. Not stopping, not even caring if it needs to stop. Just flowing with the force of gravity. If only all these transparent drops would just all stop before they hit the ground, then people could crawl underneath, without getting wet, and suddenly, the drops morph into tiny, sharp icicles, stabbing each and every one of them... Some guy mentioned that it was simple- if you don't wanna get wet in the rain, then take your umbrella out. Well, isn't that easy, all we have to do is to 'take our umbrellas out'. Wonderful. Simple. Perfect.
Then why the hell am I standing here, all wet? I brought out my umbrella, but guess what, it can't open. And I'm forced to walk in the rain, and it's so freezing cold now. Wonderful. Simple. Perfect.
The utterly annoyed expression on Nagi's face frightens passers-by. Unintentionally, they have a split second of eye contact, which causes them to shudder away in fear. Is it a sadistic look? Or a killing intent that they sense? No matter, the rain still continues. Nagi rolls his eyes, dumps his umbrella against the wall, and storms off. Someone accidentally drops a piece of paper from his file. Before it reaches the ground, the white paper flutters back up into the hands of Nagi. He looks around for the careless man, but sees him completely vanished. The irritated look disappears as well, for a moment, and as it resumes, it is knocked out again by a hard bump into Nagi.
Sigh. Shit.
The paper is crushed as Nagi's fist clenches. He feels like killing. Looking up at his unknowing victim, he stops.

"Hidaka...Ken."

"Naoe..Nagi!!"
