Title: Autumn's Raine
Chapter 11 (snippet): Shopping Trips and the Hell Thereafter
Disclaimer: I don't own the Gravi characters. I do "own" Raine. o.o She's mine… yes, mine. ::nods:: I get something!
Warnings: Yaoi, a little AU, OC, and probably some OOCness.
Notes: Bah! I am a horrible, horrible person!! ::cries:: I haven't been working on any of my fics like I should I have been~ ::cries some more:: I'm sorry you guys! After Thanksgiving I kinda lost where I was going on this fic… and then I went on a trip for a little over a week during Christmas break and when I came back I didn't feel like writing at all~ But I have gotten back on track, writing everything you will be seeing here in about an hour. I know it's not a full chapter, but it's the best I can do right now, because I have some homework I REALLY need to be working on. But I felt so bad about not posting anything for so long I had to give you guys something. Don't worry, I am NOT giving up on this fic until it is complete! ((cause I know EXACTLY what I want the last chapter to have… which is sad for me because it is a looooong ways coming. Hehe)) I hope you enjoy this little snippet! The full chapter will replace this one soon! Promise!

Raine smiled up at Yuki as the writer walked into the living room. He was dressed and ready for the day; his hair was still a little damp from his shower, a towel draped over his shoulders. He stopped next to the TV, pulling his pack of cigarettes from his pants pocket. "You can take your shower now, Raine. Everything you need is already in there. And take any clothes you need from our bedroom. I don't have anything that will fit you, but I'm sure the brat wouldn't mind you wearing his clothes for one more day."
The Sprite smiled at Yuki's "pet name" for Shuichi, and nodded. "Thank you, Yuki-san." She leaned forward and placed the notebook on the coffee table. She had already finished half of the song, and she was rather happy with how it was turning out. Raine was sure Shuichi would be pleased with it too. After giving Yuki another smile Raine made her way out of the living room and into the bedroom. She glanced over to the closet and moved over to it.
As she opened the closet she was surprised at all the clothes she found. She didn't think that either Yuki or Shuichi really needed that many things to wear, but then again Shuichi was a performer. He probably needed new things to wear all the time. Shrugging one shoulder slowly, Raine began to rummage through the closet. Soon she stumbled across something that made her pause and blink. Why would there be a skirt and sailor looking-like top in Yuki and Shuichi's closet. She continued to blink and then decided she would rather not know. There was an aura around the outfit, not the best of auras either, almost sad.
Shaking her head slowly pulled out a white and blue jersey shirt, figuring that would go with the black pants Shuichi had lent her already. 'I haven't gotten them dirty; I can wear them one more time.' She nodded, and turned to go get the pants which she had left in the living room.

"Thank-you Yuki-san." Yuki nodded slowly as Raine placed the notebook on the coffee table and left the living room. As soon as she was out of sight Yuki, taking a long drag from his now lit cigarette, moved over to the coffee table and picked up the notebook.
Yuki was quick to note that Raine had very neat writing. 'A lot neater then Shuichi's writing, though that isn't saying too much.' He let himself smirk, if only for a moment before he began to read the lyrics written on the paper.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to go falling in love with you; even a furious brake won't stop this,
No matter who (tries to) stop me now.
Since it gets stronger every time I hit and am hit by the borders of common sense,
I'll climb over the wall and speed up; I can't stop lovin' you.
To declare "I love you" to someone from the heart --
How often can that happen by chance?
A moment of a person's life can't be enough time
To paint over those feelings.
I break through the cordon and the siren sounds;
I won't go back; I won't look back at all...
I want to go be near you; while I'm stepping on the accelerator of treasuring you,
Ah, stretch out your arms.
Even if the future says "No trespassing," I'll surely sneak into it.
Gazing into your eyes, I'll tell you: I can't stop lovin' you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taking his time, Yuki read the lyrics twice, 'These aren't too horrible.' He mentally frowned, wondering why he could never be satisfied with anyone's lyrics. As he continued to stare down at the paper he didn't notice Raine standing at the entrance to the living room, watching him silently.
