Rayne-S: Hey-hey! I'm back in action.

Rayne: What do you mean 'action'? All you do is sit your lazy ass on your computer and type! * Glares(tm) at Rayne-S * And what with the tm thing anyway?

Rayne-S: I actually don't know. And besides I do exercise my imagination when I type. ^__________________________________^

Everyone ('cept Rayne-S): -_-;;

Rayne: And what a strenuous workout it should be. -_-;;

Ray: No comment.

Ryo: Ditto.

Rayne: Let's get this over with.

Ray: What's her problem?

Ryo: Rayne-S took away her headphones.

Ray: Oohh...

Rayne: I said let's get this over with!

Kai: Shuddup! Damn, you sure can yell.

Rayne: Thank you.

Rayne-S: Okay, this is supposed to be MY notes and I barely said anything!

Ray: So that's a bad thing...

Rayne-S: -_-;; Anyway... People! Check out DarkZephyerAngel the 2nd's fic 'Somewhere Out There'. I swear you wont regret it. I submitted Rayne as one of the characters when she asked for them and Rayne turned out to be the main character.

Rayne: Yep! Once again I'M the star.

Ray: So what. The Bladebreakers are the stars of the entire anime so the fic will have to center round us.

Rayne: So...

Ray+Kai: -_-;;

Ryo: Kai, I thought you went away?

Kai: So did I.

Rayne-S: I think I'm going to start the chapter now.

Rayne+Ray+Ryo: Kay

Kai: Hn...

Rayne-S: Oh and by the way, I want at least 20 reviews or the next chapter wont go up. And by the way, if you can listen to 'I'm with you' when you read this. It really sets the mood.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After Rayne's arrival they all hurried to the living room, the whipped cream incident forgotten, and struggled to get a seat on the couch.

"Hey! No fair. I always have to sit on the floor."

"That's because you'd take up all the space on the sofa, Tyson."

"Shut it Rayne!"

"Make me!"

"Fine. I will."

"You two stop it right now." Ryo screamed. She glared over at Tyson and Rayne and just shook her head. "Honestly..."

"Sorry Ryo." Both Tyson and Rayne said.

"Since when was Ryo my babysitter." Rayne mumbled harshly to herself.

Jim was beyond himself with laughter, as was Max. Ray smiled at the two while Kai rolled his eyes.

In the end Kai, Ryo, Rayne, and Ray got to sit on the sofa. Rayne looked over at Tyson and stuck her tongue out at him. Tyson glared back.

"Gawd. You two just don't stop, huh?" Ryo sighed in exasperation.

"He/She started it!" Both Tyson and Rayne yelled, pointing at one another.

"Okay people. Settle down and lets just watch the movies." Ray said. Before it was funny, but now it was starting to get annoying.

**************************************

Three movies past and Rayne swore that if Tyson said 'This is the best part!' one more time that she would personally force-feed him poison.

'Not that I would need to force him to eat it.' Rayne thought bitterly For everytime he said it, the psycho killer would jump out and scare her half to death.

'Gawd, I hate horror movies.' Rayne said, but not before she brought up her blanket to her chin. She whimpered when the climactic music started up again. 'Dammit! I hate this music. I totally creeps me out. Why am I so scared of a movie?' Rayne started to squirm slightly.

Ryo looked down to see her best friend whimper and an evil smirk took form on her cruel lips. She just got one of her 'great' ideas.

She moved a little farther from Rayne and positioned herself. Waiting for the eerie climactic music to reach its high point, she extended her hand, which hit Rayne and scared the wits out of her.

Rayne was so surprised and tense that she jumped five feet in the air when Ryo poked her. When she hit the floor she latched on to the closest thing she could find. Which just happened to be Ray.

"Umm...Wha-what are you doing." Ray asked a little uneasily. He was blushing a dark crimson.

"Huh... Wha-AHHHHHHHH!" Rayne let go off Ray hurriedly and glared(TM) at Ryo coldly.

"I hate you" She spat quietly.

"I know you do." Ryo replied

Rayne stayed quietly watching, obviously to embarrassed to do anything else. Before the movie ended she stomped out of the house and slammed the door.

"What's with her?" Tyson glanced at the occupants of the sofa.

"Nothing. She's just made at a joke I pulled on her." Ryo answered. "Ray, go get her." Ray almost fell off the couch.

"What!? Wha-why me?" He asked sheepishly. He got up and walked out the door grumbling when Ryo glared at him.

****************************************

"Stupid Ryo...making me go on errands...it's her fault that Rayne ran out anyway." Ray looked around for any sign of the brown-haired girl, but saw nothing. "Sheesh...she sure can run fast."

Ray walked around for a half an hour, searching for any glimpse of their missing companion. He looked all over the neighborhood, but still found nothing.

"Rayne! Where are you!?" Ray yelled into the consuming darkness. No answer. Ray quickened his pace as he jogged farther and farther away from the comfortable home that was Ryo's house.

********************************************

Back at the house, everyone was starting to worry.

"Guys. Where are they?" Whined Tyson for the hundredth time.

"I...don't know." Ryo looked up to the window. "Ohh great. Just perfect. Now it's starting to rain."

"Rayne! Where!" Ryo sweat dropped at Tyson's comment.

"Baka! Not Rayne. Rain." Ryo pointed to outside the window.

"Ohh..." Tyson once again, looked as if the world was ending. As did Max, Jim, and Ryo.

"Don't worry. Rayne knows how to take care of herself and Ray is out looking for her." Kai said coldly, not bothering to move from his position.

"Yeah! This is Ray we're talking about. We all know that he'll come through." Max said, lifting the spirits of everyone in the room.

*************************************************

Ray growled in frustration as the tiny raindrops dampened his hair. "Damn rain... I better hurry up and find Rayne before we both catch a cold."

Ray walk towards the park. He didn't know why but something inside of him told him to look there.

"Rayne! You here!?" He yelled before going deeper and deeper into the park and looking around.

Rayne was sitting on a nearby bench looking to the floor. Ray cautiously walked towards her.

"You okay?" He asked genuinely worried. She didn't respond so he tried again. "Rayne...what's wrong?" She raised her head to look at Ray.

Her hair was messed up and her eyes were red and puffy from crying. Ray felt himself wince when he saw the state f his friend. This wasn't like Rayne at all. The usually happy and carefree girl was so disappointed that she was crying? He sat down next to her and put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"You wanna tell me what's wrong?" He asked in a sweet comforting voice.

Rayne looked deep into his golden eyes. In them she saw worry and concern. They looked inviting and warm, not cold and harsh like her other surroundings. She had an internal struggle on whether she should tell him or not. Ray, who noticed the struggle, sat quietly and patiently, wondering if she would open up.

(You can tell him.) 'I'm not so sure...' (Oh come on. He went in the rain to look for you. The least you could do is tell him whats wrong.) 'Fine, fine. Just stop screaming in my head.'

Rayne opened her mouth, as she looked deep into Ray's eyes.

"Well when we were watching the movie, I kind of dazed out and started to relive these memories."

"Memories?"

"Yeah...about my parents."

"Ohh...actually never heard about your parents."

"That's because I never remembered anything until now. My past is a blank, and now I'm remembering."

A silence urged her to continue.

Rayne sighed before she continued her story. "What I remember is this bright day. A woman, who I think is my mother, was holding and playing with me. I looked young, around two years old. And this guy walked up to her. He slapped her, making her drop me, and I started crying like the baby I was. The man took my mom away then I heard a gunshot. After that everything went blank."

By the time Rayne finished her story tears were streaming silently across her face. Ray pulled her into a hug in an effort to comfort her, while muttering comforting words in her ear.

"Rayne it's okay. Let it out. Let all your tears out."

And that's what Rayne did. She cried on his shoulder for at least five minutes before her breath steadied. Ray looked at her face only to discover that she was asleep. He picked her up and started walking towards her house.

'So that's why she left so suddenly. Wow, I didn't know that something so horrible had happened to her. And I think she didn't know either.' Ray opened the door to her apartment and brang her to her room.

"Sweet dreams Rayne." He said before leaving the house.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Rayne-S: Not bad for writing stuff on the spot huh?

Kai: Why's it so sappy?

Rayne-S: I was listening to 'I'm with you' by Avril Lavigne when I wrote this. Told you I'm a mega Avril fan.

Ray: Whatever... but I thought nothing like this was going to happen.

Rayne: Yeah... so did I.

Rayne-S: I had to think of something that would make it more interesting and longer.

Rayne+Ray: Ooh...

Rayne-S: L8ER DAYZ!!!
