Chapter 2.

"Going Down In Flames"

Rayne's alarm clock rang rather too early in the morning for her own good. It was 5:00am. This morning she did not wake up to that horrid dream that has been

waking her up for the last few months. Rayne stretched and yawned. She got out of bed throwing the cover in place. She pulled down the sides of the cover to make

her bed. Walking away from her bed she shed off her night shirt and boxer shorts. Rayne blinked a few times trying to keep herself awake. She threw her clothes in

the laundry basket on her floor and walked into her bathroom. In her house both master bedroom and secondary bedroom had a bathroom built in it for privacy.

Rayne and Adrianna both stayed in the master and secondary bedrooms. Rayne flicked on the light and squinted in the sudden bright room. She turned on the water

faucet and stepped in the cool water. She loved cool water showers in the morning because it woke her up. It helped ready her for the day to come. Rayne washed

her hair and body, she conditioned her hair and shaved her legs as well. Stepping out of the shower she grabbed her black towel and wrapped her body in it. She

took another one and wrapped it around her hair. She walked out of the bathroom into the cool bedroom. Rayne flicked on the main light and threw out a pair of

camouflage pants and an Army green tank top. She pulled out a light hooded black zip up sweatshirt from the closet and threw it on top of the pile on her bed. She

pulled out some fresh under garments including socks and laid those on the bed as she walked past. She pulled out her comb and hair dryer. Taking her time to make

sure her hair was dry she combed out the tangles. Taking a pony tail off the counter top she gathered up her hair and put it in a quick loose messy bun. Today she

was going to see if maybe dolling up would make someone talk to her.. Not that she cared or anything! She was just going to see if they actually paid any attention to

her instead of just calling her "the devil" or something along the lines of that. She rarely wore make-up to school because she hated waking up to put it on but today

was different.

Rayne grabbed her makeup bag out of the bottom of the sink and pulled out some powder base. She lightly applied that onto her face to even out any blemishes that

would appear on her face. She added a little blush to her cheek bones and some lipstick. She outlined her lips in dark pink lip liner and put a lighter lip gloss on. She

the took the purple eye liner that she owned brought the turquoise in her eyes out more. She applied mascara and eye shadow. Not applying too much makeup on

because she knew she didn't need it just she wanted to do that this morning. For some reason she felt in a much better mood. Rayne pulled out the bun she put her

hair in and combed it out more. She put some gel on the tips to make them spiky and rolled the rest of it in a bun. The bun was very neat with no stray hairs sticking

out. She left two thin pieces of hair to hug her face loose from the bun. She put a little gel on the two pieces of hair that was down around her cheeks and spiked

them out. She then took the spiked tips of the rest of her hair and pulled it out of the bun and put a clip in her hair. She left the spikes fall over the clip and examined

herself in the mirror. She glanced at her face and her eyes.. Her eyes.. She loved those the most. While the main color was turquoise she had strips of yellow and light

brown in them as well. When the sun reflected off them at a right angle it almost made them look emerald green. Rayne grabbed clothes and threw them on quickly

she then grabbed her beyblade and bitbeast and shoved it in her pocket. Rayne put her keys and her wallet in the lower pockets near her knees and grabbed a

ribbon from her jewelry box. She strung a dragon and tiger pendant through the black velvet ribbon. The tiger was intertwined with the dragon like they were fighting.

She tied that around her neck and put on her rings. She had a Sapphire diamond white gold ring that her mother bought her last year for Christmas and also a

sapphire white gold with ruby accent gems off to the side. The sapphire was cut in a princess cut and the rubies were circle cuts. Rayne patted her cat on the head

and walked down the stairs. She still had about an hour before she had to go to school so she made herself some breakfast and even put some coffee on for her

mom. Her mother would wake up soon because she had to go to work. Rayne even made her mom an egg and a few pieces of bacon. Rayne sat them down on a

plate and poured a cup of coffee for her mother. She sat it on the countertop and grabbed a bottle of power aid from the fridge. As she shut the door her mother

came down the stairs and glanced in the kitchen. Rayne turned around and her mom just stared.

"What's wrong?" Rayne said looking confused at her mom. She has made breakfast for her mom before so that wasn't the issue.

"you look so gorgeous today! You are wearing makeup! You should do it so much more dear you are so pretty!" Her mom complimented her. Rayne smiled. Her mom

always complimented her when she changed something. Whether it was wearing a pretty sun dress or if she put her hair up a different way. But this was the first

time that her mother has ever complimented her job at putting on makeup. "Thanks" she said. Walking past her mom she grabbed her book bag off the table. Her

mom grabbed a hold of her arm and pulled her into a hug. Rayne was in a good mood this morning so she didn't try to fight out of it. She returned it actually. Adrianna

smiled and let her go. "Have a good day at school." Her mom said. "Thanks" Rayne said and headed to the door. Her mom stopped her again. "Hey dear, today my

contract for my cell is ending if you want we can go to the mall after you get off school and go get it renewed and put you on my plan so you can have one with you if

you ever need it." Rayne shrugged and proceeded out the door. "And also" Her mom said following her "We can have a "girls" day out. Take you shopping for new

clothes and shoes and even get our hair and nails done!" Rayne only rolled her eyes. She hadn't had a "girls" day out with her mom in a long time. Since she got

remarried to "Jacob." "um…" she said contemplating if she really wanted to do that or not. She glanced back at her mom who had a hopeful gleam in her eyes "Sure…"

She said a little cautious. "Great!" Her mom said and walked back to the kitchen, she peaked her head out of the kitchen "Thank you so much for breakfast! You

always know how to make my day!" She said smiling at her daughter. "Your welcome…." Rayne said and stepped out of the door. "My mom has officially gone off the

deep end…" She said looking back behind her shoulder. Rayne walked to her second prized possession. Her electric blue Mustang Convertible. She begged her mom

to buy it for her once she got her license. Which her mom to make her happy did. The insurance was a little high but she didn't pay it. Her mom refused to let her get a

real job so she didn't really care. Rayne drove to school like she did every other day. She got into her first class; advanced calculus. She pulled out her calculator and notebook. Searching through her book bag she had a feeling she was being watched. Half the class was looking at her (the guys were at least) And half of the girls

were glaring at her.

Rayne shrugged it off. She pulled out her book and sat in her desk. The teacher began his lesson as usual. It was rather boring and she knew

almost all the answers even before he finished the problems. In the middle of class the door opened and the principle came in. "Sorry for the interruption but we have

a new student in our class. He is a transfer student from one of the many Russian private schools. And has decided to grace our presence with him. Kai Hiwatari is his

name and I expect every one of you to treat him kindly." The principle said glaring at Rayne. Rayne shook her head and pulled out her IPOD She was not in the mood

to listen to the same lecture that they had Friday. She hit play and blankly stared out into space.

Don't tell me what to think,

Cause I don't care this time,

Don't tell me what you believe,

Cause you wont be there,

To catch me when I fall,

But you'll need me when I'm not here at all,

Miss me when I'm gone again, yeah

I'm going down in flames

I'm falling into this again yeah

Rayne was looking at the door when a tall handsome man came through the door. He was about her age maybe even a year older. He had a pair of blue cargo pants

on and a black tank top. He had blue painted triangles on his cheeks… or maybe they were even tattoo's which would have been really cool! She didn't realize she

was staring as she caught his eyes. Perfect crimson, to match his two toned blue hair. She turned her attention elsewhere. He walked up beside her and stopped to

linger before taking the empty seat next to her. Rayne paid no attention to him as she tried to completely erase his existence from her memory. The teacher continued

to drown on about the lecture. Partially through the teacher looked up at a student near Rayne. "put your music away Trevor." He said to the student "Rayne has

hers!" the student spat at the teacher. "Well maybe if you would get your homework done and get an a in this class like Rayne is then maybe just maybe I would let

you listen to your music. As it is your failing so put it away." The teacher scolded him and turned back to the lecture

I'm going down in flames

I'm falling into this again

don't tell me how life is

Cause I don't really want to know

don't tell me how this game ends

Cause we'll just see how it goes

Catch me when I fall

Or you'll need me when I'm not here at all

Miss me when I'm gone again, yeah

I'm going down in flames

I'm falling into this again, yeah

I'm going down in flames,

I'm falling into this again, yeah

Now I'm all the way down here

I'm falling

I'm all the way down here

I'm falling down again

I'm falling down

I'm falling down

I'm falling down

I'm going down in flames

I'm falling into this again

I'm going down in flames

I'm falling into this again

Now I'm all the way down here

I'm falling

All the way

All the way down here

I'm falling down again now I'm falling down.

At the end of the lecture the teacher pulled a surprise test on the students. He passed the pop quiz's out to the students and even to Kai. "Kai don't worry about being graded

too hard on this, its just for me to see how much you know and how much I need to catch you up on." The teacher stated as he handed Kai a pop quiz. Rayne had already

finished it by the time the teacher made it to the desk. Rayne got up and handed the paper to the teacher before going back to her desk and collecting the belongings. "What

pages are we doing tonight?" She said as she walked down the aisles. "Page 134-156 and 158-200 you will need to read."

Rayne nodded her head. She stepped down a few more stairs of the aisle when her foot connected to something hard. Another foot… As she felt herself falling she was

preparing herself to embrace the cold floor once she hits it. But that never came, the hard pain that would of shot through her body never came. Rayne glanced back and

straightened herself up almost immediately. She looked into those perfect crimson eyes again. "…" Rayne pulled away from him after she regained her balance. He had caught

her by the stomach. His arm was gracefully wrapped around her stomach and he caught her with ease. The teacher took this time to look up. "What on earth happened?" The

teacher stated as Rayne pulled away and lightly blushed. "nothing.." Rayne stated as she stepped back. "That wasn't nothing.. She was tripped by.." Kai said looking on the

girl who stuck her foot out's test paper. "Arachelle" (pronounced Air-a-shell) Arachelle immediately protested but the teacher heard nothing about it. "young lady, deans office

now!" Arachelle glared daggers at Kai who only returned them. She shoved past Rayne and out the door. Rayne shook her head and walked out of the class. Kai followed her.

"Wait up." Kai said and Rayne slowed her pace. She turned around and looked at him. Her eyes were cold and her stance.. Predator.. She was a leader. Not a follower and that

he mentally complimented her on. "Thank you for stopping me from falling but that does not give you an excuse to follow me." She said plainly. "Cold…" He smirked. Rayne

shook her head and walked down the hall. "Well at least wait for me and show me around. Since you seem so popular and everything." Kai said jogging to catch up. Rayne spun around so fast she almost lost her balance. "Listen! I am not one to take sarcasm easily! I don't mean to be blunt.. Or maybe I do! Get away from me! Leave me alone

or I'll have to tear your ass up! I don't know you I don't want to take the time out to learn about you! Once you get into a "group" of people you will know who I am you will

know that no one here likes me and I want to keep it that way! Leave me alone!" Rayne growled and turned on her heel. She stomped down the hall. Kai blinked at her never

having anyone talk to him like that. Usually he has to shove people off him to get some space because they think he's hot. Then he has the girl's boyfriends becoming pissy

with him because they're girlfriends are ogling over him. Kai watched her leave. She knew how to tease a guy though she probably didn't realize it. He watched how a lot of the

guys in the class watched her. They were afraid of her but they liked how she looked. She was very pretty he had to say that. He had never seen anyone with those eyes.

Almost green but still blue all the same. Wait.. He shouldn't care. He wasn't here to care about ms. Outcast. Kai was here for a completely different reason. He smirked but

followed her from afar.

Rayne went into her next class. Art 304, she was supposed to draw a live model. She was not sure who it was, the teacher was still taking consideration on who to pick.

Rayne pulled out her drawing pad and proceeded to draw one of the many birds that flew around the room. Sometimes one of those said birds would fly to one of the students

and poop on them or their work. The teacher would giggle and give the student another smock to put on. They wore smocks in that class because there was so much to do in

it and since they were in high school, one doesn't want to walk around the rest of the day with messy clothes. It also helps with the birds. The student's were made to wear

hair nets or hats. Rayne chose the hat. Hair nets made her head sweat and itchy. Since she had all that hair it was retaining heat. Hats, on the other hand didn't, the teacher

produced the hair nets for those who wanted them but you had to bring your own hat. As long as it was appropriate the school didn't care. Long ago Rayne had chosen a

bandana to wear. She could wrap it around her head and her hair and not have to worry about anything getting into it. Rayne put the bandana on and even put a smock on.

She didn't really care about the birds, for they never really made a mess near her. The bird in question that she was drawing flew over to her and landed on her desk. This

bird, she drew countless of times during her school year and the bird itself was quite alright with that. Rayne was one of the few students that paid attention to it during

class, and because the bird itself had a deformed beak a lot of the students wouldn't want to draw it. But Rayne did, and she drew the deformed beak with pride. The bird even

liked the drawings, or at least she thought he did. He would nuzzle her head and chirp at the picture. The bird was some type of parrot but the type was unknown. It had

pretty green and red wings and a bright yellow spot on its forehead. About the time she finished drawing the bird the rest of the class came in. They were all chatting about

the model and wondered who it was going to be. About the time that everyone settled down and the bird flew back to its roost, the teacher came out.

"Alright everyone, today we are going to some advanced work. As you are aware of we are doing a model of the human body, in all its wondrous shapes and forms. We were

going to choose a female subject but then we had a surprise at the end. Today you are going to be drawing a male." about that time the door opened behind the instructor and

a male wrapped in a white sheet stepped out of the door. Not just anyone but it was Kai. "This is our model, and if you would take a seat sir we will continue." Kai sat on the

stool that was in the middle of the room. "Now to be able to capture the body. One must shed all articles off it." The instructor said as she pulled the sheet away from Kai's

body. Kai was naked.. Completely naked! Everything was exposed down to his perfectly chiseled abs. He had a little peak of blue hair on his belly button and neither regions.

Being the first naked guy Rayne has ever seen she blushed. Her cheeks were bright red, what was he doing here! Why?! "Alright class begin! You are going to be drawing this

until lunch I already instructed your other teachers and told them what you are doing!"

Rayne pulled out her large drawing pad that she used for the class. Everyone had to use one. Sitting in the front of the class she was one of the closest. She looked up at him

and caught his eye again. She pulled out her IPOD and turned it on. Many of the other students did the same, this was one of the classes that allowed that because it desired

complete attention and relaxation. The teacher was pretty cool as well. Rayne started drawing the general shape of his body sitting there so if he moved she would not mess

up. She started on his feet, for some reason she liked to draw feet and took the most time drawing them. She drew just a general outline of his legs and waist. Even paying

attention to his penis. Rayne looked up at him, he was staring at her. She was not sure if he was just posing or if he chose that pose so he could watch her. She chose the

first one. Why would he want to watch her?! Rayne started to draw his face next. She never followed how the teacher taught them how to draw a human body. She had

drawn many before starting the class, and found her way easier than the teachers. She paid attention to those eyes, making sure to catch all the light in them that they were

showing at this moment. She completed the drawing and began to shade everything. She pulled out her Prism colored pencils, this was not mandatory to color the picture but

she liked to. So she did. She finished the picture and glanced over it and at the real thing. He was still watching her. How long would he stare. "let me see." he quietly

whispered. Rayne looked around but no one else heard him. "No." Rayne shook her head. The other students finished as well but they didn't color it. The teacher came back in

about an hour later. "alright everyone! Drop your pencils and show everyone how far you've gone." Everyone stopped drawing and put their art down. Rayne turned hers

upside down so no one would be able to see it. "Ok, lets start with Julia." The teacher said. Said girl Julia stood up and shown her picture. It was almost alike, Julia could not

draw hands feet or eyes. Other than that she was really good! "Good, now Simon!" one by one everyone shown their pictures. The teacher waited till last to see Rayne's and

Kai was sitting on edge. She looked like she could draw and he had seen a few pictures of hers around the school while he was investigating it that morning before the dean

took him to his class. "last but definitely not least, Rayne??" Rayne stood up and picked up her picture. He was staring at a mirror. He had to be everything was perfect. Even

down to the color of his triangles. She captured his eyes most though. Almost like staring back at himself, he felt penetrated by that picture. The teacher picked up her picture

and smiled. "perfect as always Rayne," she said. "Class dismissed, Rayne I want to talk to you please stay after." Rayne packed up and sat her things on her desk, the

teacher walked in the back room to get the sheet for Kai. Rayne walked over to the birds behind Kai and started petting one. It chirped happily at her. Rayne closed her eyes

when she felt a pressure on her shoulders. She was overwhelmed with a masculine scent, and she knew it was Kai. "most people capture my hair and my triangles and work

on that and some of the girls captured something else. When I looked at your picture, the focus was on my eyes. What do you find so intriguing about eyes?" He asked her. "I

don't."

She stated and turned around his naked form still in front of her but she paid no attention. "I don't like doing eyes at all. I like feet the most. People concentrate on the

eyes I do because I color those the best, but the real thing they don't pay attention is the feet. Look again." She said and walked away from him. He wandered to her desk and

flipped the picture over again, and sure enough, his feet were in detail. A lot of detail it looked like that took her a long time. He looked down at the picture and seen that his

pinky toe was slightly crooked. This made him look at his own foot and sure enough it was. He smirked and turned around, but she was gone. She had slipped back in the

teachers back room. He followed. But stood back enough so he didn't interrupt them.

"You have great potential, you do! But unless you sell your work, which I know you don't want to think about doing, the art field is not really anything big. If you become a

teacher then good for you but you have greater potential than that! Rayne your so smart! You like math and things like that so do something along that field!" The teacher

said to her. "Ms. Sanchez I don't want to do something else. I love drawing I love painting you know that!" Rayne said. "I know but you wont make any money if you don't sell

your work." "I don't want to give it up I like all the work I do."

"dear, I know you do but what do you want to do with all that art? How is it going to make you a living either sell it or become a teacher, You don't have the quality of teaching

however, you are not as social as a teacher needs to be. Listen, I know a great art purchaser, who will give you a good suggestion, and maybe even buy a few of your pieces."

Rayne looked at her. "I.. don't… know…" "Please Rayne just listen, he's coming in later today, go collect the work you have in your car and I'll get the ones from around the

school. Rayne only looked at her. She had never thought of selling her work. She did it for the fun of it but where would she go if she didn't sell her work, she's not a true

artist if she didn't sell her work. Rayne nodded and walked out of the class. Kai came in and threw on his clothes and ran after her. "You should be happy!" Kai said catching

up to her, but she didn't look happy. She didn't even look pleased or proud. She looked sad. "Rayne, what's wrong?" he said pulling her to a stop. "leave me alone." She glared

and pulled away from him. "Rayne stop being stubborn and tell me what's wrong." Kai said. "I am not going to talk to you a complete stranger who I don't even know." Rayne

said as she pulled out her beyblade and rubbed the bitbeast. Kai glanced at her hand and smirked. "Fine tell you what I beat you in Beyblading and you talk to me. If you win

then I leave you alone forever." Rayne looked at him and smirked. She has never lost a match so she was sure she would get him out of her hair. "Fine!" She stated and

pulled out her launcher from her book bag. Kai did the same.. "3.. 2.. 1.. GO!!" They both shouted and released the beyblades on the wet cement. Amoura and Kai's blade

crashed together, but the blades were not chopping his blade to bits. She looked at him and back to her blade, he gave all his commands verbally and she smirked, Rayne and

Amoura have long since had a mental connection with one another, and she used that to her advantage. As she watched his blade she listened to what he was saying.. It was

not what his blade was doing, it was the complete opposite. He was trying to trick her. He was trying to make it so she would react to what he was saying not doing.. Was he

in for a rude awakening. Kai's blade hit hers hard and it started to wobble. The blades were crashing together over and over again, Rayne noticed her blade losing its spin so

she called out her bitbeast. "Amoura! Arise and fill the world with your cry!" She shouted. A black light shown from her blade and Kai gasped. "you.." He said. "DRANZER!" Kai

yelled and his phoenix came out of the blade. The bit beasts blasted one another with their moves, Kai had realized that she was obvious to his plan so he continued to

mentally command Dranzer. A big blast came from the blades, Rayne and Kai both stopped commanding as their blades went spinning past one another's face. Rayne caught

Dranzer, and Amoura cut Kai's face as it flew past him. Kai stared at Rayne, she controlled a black Pegasus. One of the rarest bit beasts in the world. How did she get it?! Kai

shook himself and picked up her blade, he glanced down at it and seen the shape and design, never before has a blade like this been released into the world, this was custom,

and must of cost a lot.

"good game.. I guess we both lost." He said. "So! Tell me!" Rayne walked over to him and grabbed Amoura and handed back his blade. "no." Kai sighed

and followed her to her car. Mustang.. Good choice. "if your going to follow me make yourself useful" she said and handed six paintings to him from her trunk. Kai looked at

them and they were just as good as the one she drew earlier. Kai blinked at her as the sun shone on her face. Today was one of the first days that the sun had come out but

rain was still predicted in the forecast. Just as he was thinking that the clouds came over the sun again and it started to darken. "great.." she sighed and grabbed a few plastic

bags from her car and wrapped the pictures up in it. "more rain." She sighed as soon as she wrapped the last one up and closed her trunk the sky let loose. It poured on them

both, they ran a few rows and Kai pulled her arm. He pulled her over to his truck. It was a large truck and was high. Bigger than all the others in the parking lot. She had to

step on three steps just to get in. "Don't want to get sick." he stated and wrapped a towel he had in his back seat around her. He pulled a blanket out and wrapped it around

her body. She was shivering and wet. She used the towel and wiped the extra rain off her body. Setting the towel on the seat next to her she checked the pictures, they were

all ok. None of them were wet at all she wrapped them very well. The rain pounded on the truck as Kai turned it on. He put the heater on so she wouldn't be so cold. After

about ten minutes the rain had stopped pouring and just drizzled. Rayne opened the door and grabbed her art. She was still wet, but not dripping. She walked away from the

truck and on the other side of Kai. "thanks" was all she said as she handed some more pictures to him. They walked in silence to the art room and set up some of the

paintings. By the time she was done the art instructor and her art gallery friend was walking through the door. The friend gasped at the pictures and just stared. "amazing!"

he whispered. "you have natural talent Rayne, Alley told me all about your work!" Rayne looked at her teacher. "She did?" "yes young one, no actual training or instruction

just classes in school, this is amazing! I want them all! I love them!" He said. "Rayne?" Ms. Sanchez said. "Where are your sketches?" "You mean there's more?" He said.

"Yeah…" Rayne said pulling out her sketch book and handing it to him. "wonderful I love the detail in the birds where did you get the idea?" He said. Rayne pointed to the birds

behind him. "Oh wow!" he gasped! "I am George by the way. Sorry your work just blew me away. I will give you one hundred thousand dollars for all of this! Including the

sketch book!" Rayne's mouth dropped. "one hundred tho..?" Kai stared at her. "thank you.." Rayne said . George wrote her the check and sent her on her way. By the time

the school day was out Rayne was still as stunned as before. She didn't see Kai for the rest of the day which was a good thing. She made it home and walked through the

door. Her mother was there to greet her with open arms hoping that she was in as good of a mood as she was this morning. She found her daughter very absent minded and

was concerned. "honey what's wrong?" Her mother said running to her gathering her books in her arm. Rayne showed her the check. "oh my! Where'd you get this?" Her

mother said. "Ms. Sanchez brought a friend who purchased all my art for that…" She said sitting down. "Honey, lets put this in your savings account to help with your college

classes! And sell more! Honey your wonderful with your art! What ever you do in class sell it unless you really want it! I wanted you to all along I told you that before." and

indeed Adrianna has told her daughter to sell her work but Rayne would not hear it. "Lets celebrate and put this in the bank!" She said gathering her daughter up in her arms

and hugging her. Rayne hugged back. "Girls day out!" Rayne and her mom first went to the bank and then they went to a spa. "Tell ya what. Lets call off tomorrow and go to

someplace really cool!" her mom said. Rayne only nodded. She was still surprised that someone wanted that much for her work. She didn't know it was worth that much or

that she was "That" good.

Rayne and her mom went shopping after a while she became more there and she felt good. For once in her life she felt like she was her moms daughter. They chatted over

dinner and went to the mall. Rayne's mom let her pick what ever she wanted to have and she even picked a few sun dresses out. Rayne didn't mind dresses she just liked

pants better. They were walking out when Rayne stopped. Her mom looked at her and asked. "honey what's wrong?" Rayne hid behind her mother. "don't move." Rayne

whispered. Adrianna looked up as a very good looking young man came walking up to her. "Rayne?" Kai said to Adrianna. "no your not Rayne…" He said looking behind her.

"you're her mother." Rayne dropped her head mood already changing. "Kai.. Leave me alone! You followed me around school all friggin day I want to spend some time away

from you and with my mother for once in my life." Adrianna was surprised of two things, first was that this boy walked up to her daughter, and second that her daughter

wanted to spend time with her. "Rayne dear its ok! He can join us! Lets go get our makeup done!" Her mom said slyly knowing that this Kai wouldn't want to see two women

getting their faces put on. Rayne looked at her mother and smiled. "ok mom!" she said and walked away. "Kai come on! Lets go!" Kai stared at her. Was she serious?! Him

get his make up done… or at least watch them get it done.. NOT he might find a facination with her but he was not going to draw the line with that. "I actually have to go.." he

said and walked off. He yelled over his shoulder "see you tomorrow." Rayne smirked. No he wouldn't she was going to spend some time with her mother, but she didn't say

that. The rest of the night went well her mom and her shared some stories and even went to a chick flick together. They went in the house and Rayne took her stuff to her

room. Adrianna came in a little later with a bowel of ice cream. Adrianna and Rayne sat on the foot of her bed eating for a little bit before Adrianna smiled and kissed her

daughters cheek. Rayne looked at her mother and shook her head. After they were done eating their ice cream, Adrianna picked up a notebook that was laying on Rayne's

floor. It was the drawings of Amoura that Rayne had done countless of times before. Her mother flipped through them and asked her. "Rayne what are these?" "my bitbest."

Rayne replied quietly. "Oh for your beyblade?" Rayne nodded. "She seems pretty, you two close?" again Rayne nodded. Adrianna placed the notebook on the night stand and

proceeded to walk out of the room. "Mom?" Rayne stood up. "Hm?" Her mom said turning around. "I'm sorry." Rayne said. "For what dear?" her mother asked confused. "For

everything, your not a bad mother, I shouldn't of been so cruel to you." Rayne quietly stated looking down at her feet. She didn't want to see the look in her mothers eyes.

"Dear, I know you didn't mean all those mean things that you said to me. A mother knows those kind of things, now get some rest and we'll have a blast tomorrow!" She

smiled at her daughter. Rayne nodded and looked up. "I love you mom." She said and crawled into bed. Her mom walked back into the room and turned off the light. "I love

you too." she stated and walked out. Rayne did not dream like she usually did, her dreams weren't full of horror but calm and relaxing. She dreamt of Kai and of the drawing of

him she had to do.

Rayne's alarm clock bleeped in her ear, as she crawled out of bed she yawned. Today she was going to spend the whole day with her mother having fun! No school! No kids

trying to trip her down the aisle. And best of all, no Kai!! Rayne was happy for once in her life. She smiled and pulled on the blue sundress she got the day before with her

mother, and some new sandal's. Rayne walked downstairs to the kitchen, her mother was already awake and was making breakfast. "I called off work and called you in

already dear." Her mother stated. "Thank you." She smiled. Rayne leaned against the door frame and yawned. "Go rest up dear we are not going to be leaving for a while."

Rayne went into the living room and laid down on the couch. The doorbell rang and Adrianna walked into the living room to answer it, Rayne was fast asleep and it didn't wake

her up. Adrianna opened it and found a gentleman carrying a big bouquet of flowers. "I have a delivery to Ms. Rayne Hintomorou. Adrianna took the flowers and smiled at

them, she knew it must have been from Rayne's guy friend who seemed to bother her more than he realized it. Adrianna took the flowers to the kitchen and placed them on

the counter top. She pulled the little card out of the flowers to see who it really was from. "To my dearest Rayne, I am sorry that I was never around when you were younger,

your mother and I had a little disagreement and I decided to leave. She wasn't to forgiving anyway. But I want to spend more time with you. I want to be able to get to know

you a lot more! Please Dearest Rayne, hear my plea. Love always: Dad.

Rayne was in the room when her mom brought in the flowers, she just woke up at the door bell, Rayne was reading the card over her mothers shoulder and gasped in

disgust, she was not going to see her father if it were the last thing on the planet. Rayne took the flowers from her moms hands and threw them in the trash. Making sure to

damage them the whole way down. Rayne shook her head and wiped her hands off. "That's better, now those are where they belong." She smirked at her mom. Her mom

shook her head and threw away the card as well. "Yes and we're going to have a splendid day!" Adrianna said.
