#2-Red Rain
……………..
Gojyo could still remember that night he picked Hakkai up in the rain, and chose to save the dying man. He remembered the rain mixing in with his hair, forming little droplets on the silky strands. He remembered the drops of red that fell as he carried the injured man home, marking his path.
Hakkai remembered that night too. He remembered the red that was splashed on his hands. He remembered the sound of the rain as it fell, describing it like bullets against the surface. He remembered the darkness that threatened to over take him. He remembered the cascade of red that fell around his eyes as the crimson eyed stranger looked at him. He remembered smiling at his savior come too late.
If you asked them, they'd say the rain was red that night.
