Chapter 1: The Fight and the Rain
"I'm not going to follow in your footsteps anymore!" Aya Natsume yelled at her older sister. Maya, Aya's sister, had been getting on her case lately about Aya's suspicious behavior which in fact was very unlike her. Aya just stared defiantly at her sister as the tears fought to break free in her eyes. She hated confronting anyone like this but it had to be done in her opinion and she was going to do it herself, for Souichiro's sake. "I won't let you boss me around a-and I won't let you show me up in front of Souichiro-sama!" She yells before running off on her own through the Natsume house and runs out of the compound after slipping her shoes on and grabbing the Reiki that just so happened to be by the door. Maya stood there speechless for a few moments before running after her sister.
"Aya!" She yelled before she reached the door to find Aya and the Reki gone. Only one thing went through her mind, not again.

Souichiro Nagi had always wanted to become stronger. First for his mother and then for Maya Natsume their clubs respected leader. He groaned as he kept punching the punching bag hanging in front of him as Bob Makihara and Masataka Takayanagi did their own little practices before the captain was to arrive. He had noticed that Aya wasn't there yet when she was normally there before any of them and that she normally would give him his breakfast around now as he came to a stop as his stomach rumbled. God he missed breakfast he sighed as he rubbed his stomach. Of course he and Aya had been learning from Dogen Takayanagi, Masataka's father, and Souichiro's mother to control his power but mornings were the clubs training time.
"You taking a break Souichiro?" Bob asked as he wiped his brow on his shoulder as he did his pushups with Takayanagi meditating on his back.
"You know taking a break makes you weaker." Takayanagi says and this makes Souichiro's head snap around to look at them.
"Don't you DARE call me weak!" Souichiro yells and takes a step towards them ready to pound Takayanagi's face in at any given moment.
"Then don't take a break and get back to work or you'll make the rest of us look bad..." Takayanagi says as he then goes silent to start meditating once more.
"Damn idiot..." Souichiro mumbles and as he turns back to the punching bag a shoe hits him in the head causing him to slowly turn his head back with fire in his eyes. He was just about to charge at the idiot, Takayanagi, but Maya busted through the door breathing hard as she stood in the doorway with both hands on the doors.
"We have to go!" She yells quickly as Takayanagi quickly jumps off Bob as he stands and Souichiro turns to her wondering why she looked so sad and angry all at once.
"What's going on captain?" Takayanagi says and Maya bows her head as she slams her fist in the door causing it to create a small crater in the door. Takayanagi and the others immediately shut up and stared at her knowing something had to be very bad as she slowly looked back up at all of them.
"Aya ran off..." She said and Souichiro sighed and shrugged his shoulders.
"So what? She'll come back when she's done thinking over what happened." He says simply and puts his arms down as he looks at Maya's face.
"She took the Reiki..." Maya whispers and all their eyes locked on her as they watched her closely. "I was stupid... I-I was going to lock it away in the safe house but then she started to fight with me and before I knew it she ran off with the Reiki..." She says and runs a hand over her face. "I was careless..."
"So now we have to go find her and quick..." Takayanagi says and looks to Souichiro who doesn't look away from Maya.
"Will he be helping again?" Souichiro says lightly and the room becomes 10 times tenser out of nowhere as Maya slowly looks to Souichiro.
"He doesn't know yet..." She says as she locks her eyes on his.
"Keep it that way." He says as he runs out in search for Aya as Maya turned out to watch him leave knowing that he could stop her.
"Captain we should search for Aya too." Takayanagi said as he walked up beside her. She nods and Takayanagi and Bob run out to look for Aya also but in different directions from where Souichiro had run off in to cover more ground as Maya watched them go she slowly turned to look at the club house to find Mitsuomi Takayanagi, Masataka's brother, leaning against the wall looking at her.
"So you found out..." She whisper and looks Mitsuomi over, she loved him but she couldn't allow him to know due to him killing her brother.
"I can tell that the Reiki no longer is in your possession as like I did before." He says simply as he steps towards her with his arms folded across his chest. "Once again you let it out of your sight."
"And once again I'll find it and save my sister." Maya says quickly trying to defend her honor.
"Who will most likely become another Shin Natsume." Mitsuomi says simply and Maya stands there in silence for a moment before speaking once more on her behalf.
"She will not because she not only has true friends but has no one testing on her like my brother did. Your father is the one to blame, not my brother since you're father is the one who made my brother what he was and why you can't fight for no more than 3 minutes." Maya says finally before she storms out in search for her sister and the Reiki. Mitsuomi smirks as she storms out knowing that he was getting under her skin.

She kept running and didn't care what she was running to or who she was around at the moment as she ran through the slums and alleys. She finally comes to a stop as she comes to a dead end. Aya sighs as she leans her back against the wall and holds the Reiki close to her chest as she looks around then slides down the wall to a sitting position.
"I-I'm not worthy of being a Natsume..." She whispers and bows her head as she closes her eyes as her hands tremble as they hold the pulsing Reiki.
"You're wrong little girl..." A voice says from in front of her. Aya quickly looks up to find a man with slick black hair and a black kimono on, a long sword on his left hip as he looks at her eyes, his charcoal ones dark and warm. "Dear Aya, you're more of your brother than you realize..." He whispers and puts his hand out o her. "I'm Kigso Utikata... I'd like to help you..." He says gently as he tries to lure Aya to him.
"I'm sorry Utikata-san, I have to go home soon or I might worry Souichiro-sama..." She whispers and keeps her hands locked on the Reiki.
"Back to the home where you're sister tries to control you?" He says as he tries to pull her away from the thought of going home.
"I'm not mad at my sister anymore I think I've done enough to hurt her." Aya says and gets to her feet and looks beyond him then looks back at his face.
"My dear at least let me help you get home; these streets are filled with horrible things at this time of day."
"No thanks, I can get home on my own." She smiles and starts towards the road but Utikata grabs her arm and holds tight to it as she turns her head to look at him. "Utikata-san, let go of me." She says but he doesn't let go as he grasps the Reiki and pulls it away from her as she tries to reach for it. He shoves her back into the wall and she quickly charges at him and tries to land a hit on his lower abdomen but misses as he dodges and she flies into the wall.
"Let's see the dragon's eye dear girl..." He says and looks her over ready for anything as she charges at him once more tripping and flying into the wall once more as she slides down it and lays there a moment as he approaches her and gets ready to kick her but stops as a voice is heard at the end of the alley near the road.
"Don't you dare lay a hand on her." Souichiro stands there with his arms across his chest.
"Souichiro-sama!" Aya cries as she sits up and looks to Souichiro.
"Hey Aya, the next time you go running off make sure to tell us where you're going." Souichiro says and grins as she smiles, water welling up in her eyes as she quickly looked up at Utikata who has backed away from her and from Souichiro.
"I see I'll have to come back to talk to you Aya-chan." Utikata says before jumping up on a roof and running off as Souichiro runs over to Aya.
"You ok?" He asks and she nods her head yes.
"But he has the Reiki Souichiro-sama..." Aya says and Souichiro looks to where Utikata took off to.
"Well then we're going after him, I did after all tell your sister I'd get it back for her and find you."
"Of course..." She whispers sadly and looks down to the ground as Souichiro runs off after the man with Aya following him as he ran, all her thoughts about him flowing through her mind as she watched him. 'Souichiro-sama still loves my sister; he doesn't even like me...' She says to herself as she sighs inwardly and just keeps running.

They ran for hours but had no luck at finding the sword as the clouds filled the sky and it had started to darken as Souichiro had slowed down to a walk and Aya had done the same. They just so happened to be lost again in a very bad part of town as it began to rain. Aya loved the rain normally but this time she didn't since she had been wearing white that day as she sighed and wrapped her arms around herself as they kept walking down the street till Souichiro stopped and looked back at Aya to find her shivering and soaked.
"Well I guess we should find shelter." He says simply as he looks ahead once more.
"N-No that's ok Souichiro-sama, if you want to continue we can-" Aya starts to reply as not to make him stop or be the burden but he cuts her off before she can finish what he's saying.
"You're cold and wet and I don't need you catching the flu or something when we have training with Dogen." He says simply and starts walking once more. Aya's eyes light up with happiness after he speaks thinking that he truly cared until he mentioned training. She smiles and happily follows behind him ready to follow him to the ends of the earth.
"Souichiro-sama, we could rest at a motel if possible... I could pay for it-" Aya starts but Souichiro cuts her off.
"It wouldn't be right if you were to pay so I'll take care of it." Souichiro says and keeps walking with his hands deep in his pockets. "I mean, I guess it's only right if I paid..."
"Of course Souichiro-sama, you're acting like a true gentleman." Aya smiles warmly and Souichiro blushes lightly.
"Yeah right- Like I want to be some snobby man who's all rich and buys his happiness." Souichiro snorts as he looks off to the side trying not to look at Aya.
"That's not right Souichiro-sama, you can be a gentleman without being considered snobby and you don't have to buy your happiness." She says gently and looks at him "Besides I don't think you're snobby and I know you don't buy you're happiness, you earn it."
"Yeah... Well I think I found us some shelter." He says as he goes into the small rundown motel on the right hand side of the road. The paint inside is fading on the walls and there's beat up furniture along the wall, the reception desk has a hole in it and there's a broken cash register on the counter. "Well isn't this cheery..." He growls and looks around then he looks to the shivering Aya.
"Is anyone even here?" Aya whispers and looks around the room then looks to Souichiro. "So what now Souichiro-sama?"
"Well we find who owns the dump and get them to rent us a room or two for the night." He says simply and goes to the counter and knocks on it to get the clerks attention but fails. He sighs and pounds on the counter and a minute later a man in a faded black suit walks up behind the counter looking Souichiro and Aya over.
"Good day sir..." The man says and looks Aya over then looks back at Souichiro. "You'd like a room for you and the lady?" He asks and Souichiro nods slowly.
"One of your best with some towels and fresh clothes if possible." Aya says and smiles as she walks up beside Souichiro.
"Of course dear, now let's see..." He looks at a little notebook on the counter and looks over the prices.
"And then we need directions when the rain stops to Toudou Academy." Souichiro says and the man freezes a moment before smiling up at Aya and Souichiro.
"Of course sir..." He says gently and inputs some numbers into a calculator. "As a student you get a discount so the room and linens comes to nothing for you..."
"Really?!" Aya exclaims happily and leans over the counter slightly.
"O-Of course ma'am..." The man says and Aya smiles at Souichiro.
"Aren't we lucky Souichiro-sama?" She asks and Souichiro sighs and turns away.
"Well then show us to our room old man..." Souichiro growls lightly and follows behind the man and Aya follows behind him. Both of them are unaware that a pair of eyes were watching them from the other room behind the counter, white teeth shown as they smirk.
"Little Jyuuken club brats won't be heading back tomorrow…." The spy hisses as he disappears out into the rain.

"You know Aya you should really think before you act, I mean you should have known it was going to rain." Souichiro says as he closes his eyes. He happened to plop down on the bed as they came in, his hands behind his head and his legs crossed as Aya entered the small bathroom to change. She sighed as she heard the light snoring as she pulled on the small black silk nightgown the motel manager had given her. Minutes later she finally came out, drying her hair with a towel.
"Souichiro-sama…." She whispers and gently sits on the bed next to him, her cheeks slightly flushed as she smiles and lies next to him facing away from him to respect his sleeping form as she fell into a deep sleep herself. Hours later Souichiro wakes to find Aya facing him, her face only 3-4 inches away from his as he jumps back, his face flushed from embarrassment.
"What the heck!" He yells as he backs against the wall, his heart racing as he watches her move ever so slightly showing her cleavage in the process. "Damn girl has to go and ruin everything…" He mumbles and looks away as he hears something moving out in the hall. "What the hell…" He whispers as he approaches the door and stops next to it as he places his ear against it.
"Well we have two of the Jyuuken club members in our grasp now all we have to do is finish them and the club loses faith and power in the preliminaries…." A voice outside the door says, there's a few steps as if someone were pacing then another person begin to speak.
"But even so these two will be no push over… one just so happens to be Aya Natsume, Maya Natsume and Shin Natsume's younger sister and possessor of the dragons eye…" The other voice says as it hisses at the other and there's a thud against the wall.
"Then what do we do?" The first voice starts once more.
"You distract them and I'll attack, if we get the dragon's eye out of the way we'll have a better chance of taking out the other member." The second voice says and both the voices go silent as foot steps are heard outside once more approaching the door.
"Shit…" Souichiro whispers and quickly runs over to Aya. "Aya get up we've got to leave now." He says as he shakes her lightly. Her eyes open but seconds later as she looks up at him confused as to why he might be leaning over her and two that his hands were on her.
'Souichiro-sama is coming onto me!' She says to herself as she smiles inwardly and blushes lightly.
"We have to get out of here, we're not welcome and another club is coming in to get rid of us." Souichiro says and Aya snaps out of her day dream as she gets to her feet, the door flies open as two tall men, one with shaggy black hair and blue eyes, one with spiked blonde hair and green eyes. They're both wearing long black trench coats with heavy duty black boots.
"Well I see it won't be so easy…" The blonde man says and smirks as he looks Aya up and down. "A shame that I have to kill such a beauty…"
"A job is a job I guess, I mean we kill you and the boss is pleased…" The black haired man says as he shrugs. Before Souichiro could say any smart remark both the men disappear and reappear behind Aya and Souichiro kicking them in the sides sending them flying out the wall with the window and into the garden as they rolled in the mud, the rain still coming down hard.
"Damn how'd they…" Souichiro growled as he slowly got to his feet and looked to the hole to find the two men standing in the hole, the blonde one smirking and the other one grinning. "Wipe those damn looks off your face because you're going down!"
"Souichiro-sama…" Aya whispers as she slowly gets to her feet and looks to the men. "I'll take the blonde…" She says quietly and Souichiro slowly nods as he charges in at the black haired man and the blonde causing the blonde to jump off left and the black haired man off to the right. Souichiro then turns and charges at the black haired man while Aya charges at the blonde picking up a long broken piece of plywood in the process.
"Well let's start the party Nero…" The black haired man says and the blonde one smirks as he dodges Aya's attack and looks to the black haired man.
"Of course, the party must be started Niro." Nero, the blonde man, says to the other man as he quickly deflects Aya's plywood causing her to stumble as Nero charges in and slams a fist into her gut causing her to fly then land on the ground and roll a little.
"Aya!" Souichiro yells but as he does Niro, the black haired man, takes the opportunity and slams a fist into Souichiro's cheek causing to fly back, land on his back, and slide along the ground a good 2 feet. "Damn it…" Souichiro groans as he slowly gets to his feet, wiping the blood from his mouth. "I won't let you get away with this!" He yells and charges in at Niro once more as Aya slowly gets to her feet. Souichiro freezes as he feels the overwhelming power coming from behind him and looks back to find Aya on her feet, her eyes that of the dragons.
