It began to rain. A furious downpour, as if the sky was attacking the earth. A lone figure was racing down the slippery concrete paths, soaking but unaffected. It was definitely unusual, for in the dark downpour, one's vision was reduced to a mere few feet. Lightning streaked across the dark night sky, there were no living creatures in sight. Except this one boy.
He wasn't frightened, yet his heart was pounding. He had to find her. The girl who took his best friend's life. He wasn't going to forgive her, not after all that, not after; no. It wasn't her fault. It was his. "...Ruby...you, you idiot." The truth stabbed him. But he couldn't turn away now. He had to find answers, and asking this girl was his first and final resort. She was the only other witness. Wait, there was...
"Toro. It's all your fault! You didn't protect her! You didn't-!" the boy yelled, turning his frustration on the said Blaziken. "Blaze! Blaziken! Blaze! Blaze!" Toro appeared behind Ruby, it seemed the Blaziken was following him to see where he was going. Without warning, Ruby tackled the fiery beast. He knew he was no match for him but he did so anyway. What could he do with his life after she was gone now?
Crack! Crack! Sizzle. Crack! Bang! CRASH!
Ruby and Toro stopped fighting and turned in the direction of the noise. A girl rose from a pile of shattered glass and broken tree branches. Even through the heavy rain she could still be clearly seen. Her body seemed have an unnatural glow, cold blue eyes looked at him blankly and faintly red lips formed a slight smile. Her hair was a light chestnut color and it blew in the opposite direction of the strong, whistling wind behind her.
It was who he was out in this vast amount of rain for. The mysterious girl who went by the name #A-IFTJK120008974526, but by others she was simply called 'Blue' for her dazzling blue eyes. "It's you." He breathed. "You think so?" she asked in a soft tone. "Tell me the truth, I'm begging you!" Ruby exclaimed, his voice desperate as he suddenly slid down on his knees and onto the wet concrete. (A/N: you didn't think I was going to put him in the mud did you?)
"Will you answer my question then?" Blue asked, her face holding the same expression she had when he saw her.
"I will! Anything! I'll do anything!" Ruby replied, Blue's lips curved into a warm smile. "Good. Then can you tell me, why you live?"
Ruby froze. His dark, ruby red eyes stared at her in shock. After a while, he mumbled out his reply, "I-I have no reason to live...not anymore."
Her blue eyes widened and she said slowly in disbelief, "No...reason?"
He nodded. Then it clicked in her mind. Anymore. He said not anymore. He lived for another. And his reason was gone. For his reason's life has extinguished. She knew who the reason was. It was the girl her master had told her to kill. And in doing that, she injured this boy's heart. "Ask me your question." She commanded.
"It's okay." Before she could even get a word out, Ruby ran. Ran away from her. The Blaziken was close behind. They left her alone. Blue was shocked. Human behaviour was much different to the behaviour of those in her world. Nevertheless, she needed answers, so she flew up into the raging storm and up above into the calm world she lived in.

"#A-IFTJK1120008974526."
"Yes?"
"I understand you had contact with a human that was not on your list."
"That is correct."
"From now on, there is to be no more! Only the ones on your list."
"I understand, Master."
Blue hated it. Hated how her master thought he could just go telling her what to do. But he had the power to kill her. She didn't want to die before she found her reason to live. The dark figure smiled, his dark eyes glinting.
"I trust you will carry out this next mission?"
"Yes Master."
The figure handed her a sheet of paper and on it, said these words scribbled in messy handwriting:
This boy is annoying me. Deal with him.
Blue turned the paper around and on the other side was the photo of a young boy with dark raven hair and glowing cat-like golden eyes. She closed her eyes in disbelief. Even though this was only the second young victim she was assigned to, she felt guilty. Behind the boy, even if it was cut off, she could make out many people. But at the same time, she was enthusiastic about it.
She had seen this boy many times and she knew he had many friends. Her goal was clear. She had to find out as much as she could. To fulfill her dream. Even if it meant taking someone else's. She smiled an evil smile.
Behind a black pillar in the dark castle, a boy watched her closely. He loathed her. Down on earth, when he was still human, he had made a wish that he could see his friend again. It came true. That's why he was here. But when he found her again, she had no memory of him. Or earth.
Though she was greatly disturbed at the fact that he was continuously talking to her when she first started out, she gradually forgot all about him. He was determined to make her remember though. And with his human friend, Red, he was going to succeed.
