Chapter 4: It Will Rain

MY First attempt at incorporating a song into a story. 5 more mini chapters will follow but this concludes the main end of the story. Note ISA6 is reference to Greendale 7 so don't ask why.


The Rain outside continued to pour as a taxi pulled up outside the Orimura house. First popped out a black umbrella followed by the rest of Chifuyu Orimura, Instructor at the IS Academy and direct teacher of 5 of the 6 members of the ISA 6.

"Thanks for the great night Maya." She called back to her co-instructor and close friend Maya Yamada noticing her bust was poking out the window.

"No problem Ms. Orimura, see you next week same time."

All Chifuyu did was wink and the cab was off splashing a bit of water in the face. The gate was a bit stuck but she got it open no ease. Now her attention turned to the house and how much damage did her brother and the five of them cause.

"I told them no sleepovers, and yet somehow I have a felling with this rain them walking off, or flying off would not be an option."

She stood in the porch shaking down any last bit of water that was hanging off her jacket. The knobbed turned and she swung the door opened. The dread on her face was palpable as she stepped in; how many of them would still be there, Alcott, Ringin, Dunois, Bodewig, or even her good friend Tabane's sister Houki. As she pondered that notion she turned and bumped into a body slumped on the floor.

"Alcott, what the?" First on the list passed out right by the door was Cecelia Alcott the British rep who notably defeated Ichika for the position of Class representative when Ichika arrived at ISA.

"I swear Alcott; you cling to Ichika like a louse on a head." Chifuyu checked her for any signs of Alcohol in her system but noticed the long flowing Blue nightgown on her barley moving as she snuggled with the floor.

Rather than getting the urge to get her up for an explanation she simply removed her earrings and placed them on the end table. Her attention next turned to the living room and what hopefully wasn't a kitchen mess, she heard the TV blaring and figured out the issue.

"He found my Blu-Ray collection didn't he. " The menu for Community looked like it had been playing on loop as she turned to grab the remote only to notice.

"Ok as much as Alcott was weird this is weirder." The next bodies she discovered were the Chinese and German Reps, Huang Lingin and the person she directly tutored while stationed in Germany Laura Bodewig. They were cuddled up and light snoring could be heard coming from them both. The look on her face as she removed the ribbons from Rin's hair was one of sheer weirdness and awestruck. Then one more problem aroused as she moved to remove Laura's eye patch.

"Not my Yukata really you had to give her that." She heard the drop of a bracelet on the couch as she was all set to remove it and then saw the shock as 3 more bodies were slumped on the couch.

"You can't choose between them can you bro." The light snoring of her brother broke the mood of the hands being clasped on both counts. One by Houki and the other by Charlotte Dunois both roommates of her brother and both the closet thing to family beside him. She noticed the bracelet on the ground and recognized at as Houki's. The necklace on Charlotte came off next as she grabbed everything off the girls and placed them on the kitchen table.

"I got to admit, those 5 sure know how to be persistent." She rubbed her head trying to think about what to do next. "Shinonono's got her marching orders already but as for the other four that's going to be a bit tougher." "Thank goodness we got a ton of sleeping bags however."

Before she went to the closet Chifuyu grabbed the nearest button on her phone knowing she'd need the right mood music. There was only one song that could set the mood appropriately.

"Play It Will Rain by Bruno Mars"

With the phone set on a charging station she went to the closet and started to grab pillows and blankets.

IF YOU EVER LEAVE ME BABY

The music began to play and if right on cue the rain outside began to pick up

LEAVE SOME MORPHINE AT MY DOOR

Counting out the pillows was a bit on the short side.

CAUSE IT WOULD TAKE A WHOLE LOT OF MEDICATION

The First ones went to Cecelia as she slid out the sheet and pillow.

TO REALIZE WHAT WE USED TO HAVE WE DON'T HAVE IT ANYMORE

Chifuyu rolled her on to the sheet and eased her head up centering it on the pillow. The blanket went on next as she tucked it right over the Blondes body,

THERES NO RELIGION THAT CAN SAVE ME

"As for Rin?" as she placed another sheet and pillow by the couch

NO MATTER HOW LONG MY KNEES ARE ON THE FLOOR, OH

The weight of Rin was not a problem for Chifuyu as she set the brunettes body away from Laura's grasp and eased her onto the pillow.

"So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm Making." "Especially when it comes to you girls" But her attention now turned to her brother himself. The way Rin snuggled onto the pillow even with a sheet around her did amount to a smile.

CAUSE THERE"LL BE NO SUNLIGHT LIFE I LOOSE YOU BABY

"No clear skies tonight Bruno, No clear skies," That was on her mind as she went to grab 3 more pillows and blankets. Looking out on the balcony gave a bit of reflection as she looked on at the calming way the rain was falling.

IF YOU WALK AWAY EVERDAY IT WILL RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN

The vocalizations of Bruno Mars filled the room as she eased up the head of her Brother followed by the other girls. But almost as if magic happened the girls somehow began signing themselves.

"I'll never be your sister's favorite." Came out of Houki as if she wanted to directly admit her felling for Ichika to her. Chifuyu stood stunned at that very notion.

"Your family can't even look me in the eye." Followed by Charlotte as she looked at her hands. That thought led Chifuyu to finish there next train of thought

"There goes my little bro walking with those troublesome girls."

Chifuyu eased their hands apart and the girls rolled onto either pillow. The three blankets fell onto them with ease and yet Ichika silently rolled right back to Houki.

"Or Have you picked one but haven't realized it."

BUT LITTLE DARLING WATCH ME CHANGE THEIR MINDS

While the noises of Bruno Mars continued to fill the room she decided to give her personal favorite Laura a surprise. Easing of Laura's eye patch she grabbed her off the couch and went upstairs carrying her the whole time.

BROKEN PIECES TIL IM BLEEDING

"If that will make you mine"

The last thing Chifuyu expected to hear coming out of a sleeping Laura's mouth was that lyric and all she did was chuckle slyly. The door to her room opened up as she set the sleeping girl very gingerly on the floor adjacent to her own bed. The pillow and blanket were placed on her next and Laura curled up embracing the floor.

DON'T YOU SAY GOODBYE

"Thank you Mentor," She barley whispered snuggling herself up to the pillow. Chifuyu smiled as she hummed out the rest of the song while changing in her closet.

The music finally stopped as she switched off the rest of the lights in the house. The lace of her pjs easily slipped into her bed and with Bodewig's snoring as better Background noises than a CD of rain, sleep overtook her in minutes. All the while her brother and his 5 comrade's barley made a sound.
