Listen to the Rain

Chapter three

"Perfect by nature.

Icons of self indulgence

Just what we all need

More lies about the world that"

Where was that coming from?WHO was that coming from?

"Never was and never will be

Have you no shame, don't you see me

You you've got everybody fooled"

Sabrina cracked open a red eye, only to send a glare at-

"LOOK HERE SHE COMES NOW

BOW DOWN AND STARE IN WONDER

OH HOW WE LOVE YOU

NO FLAWS WHAN YOUR PRETENDING

BUT I KNOW SHE"

The blue haired girl luged forward, hands wrapping around G.B.'s neck.

"SHUT UP!!"

She screamed, then noticed that there was real flesh under her hands.

"Did Mega?"

The man nodded, smiled and pointed outside. Curiosity won over and the cat got out of bed, looking at the team, there was only one real thing the was different, Kage, instead of metal parts, they were flesh and furry. She smiled and latched onto Joe's neck(A/N: I have to say, I'm not fond of 003/009, though I still haven't decided if I what I should do about pairings, We'll all have wait a while, until I get somemore reveiws, that is, I'm going to do 009/003 if that's what you want, but I can't say anything about it maybe being a 004/Sab, gomen.)who returned the hug. She picked up Ivan and headed to the kitchen.

"Just what where you thinking, Meg?"

"I wasn't?"

She sighed, sitting down next to the cyborg.

"Joe."

"Nani?"

"Your trying to choose, I can tell, Joe."

The girl sighed.

"I'll think about it."

~*~

Megana sighed, sitting up from the sleeping bag and looked over at the girl.

"You need sleep, don't you?"

The blue haired girl chuckled, and looked over at her from the windowsill.

"You can't hear those two?"

The life cyborg blinked, then laughed.

"Joe sleep talks?"

Sabrina nodded, looking back out at the full moon.

"And Jet snores louder than needed."

"There's only two others still up."

Kage said, sitting up from the red sleeping bag.

"Albert and......"

{Kyunma.}

Sabrina smiled, looking back at the two girls, who sweetdropped at Ivan.

"Why did you let him sleep in here?"

They asked in sync, eyes closed.Sabrina grinned.

"Just cause."

The three stayed still as the lights flickered on and off.

"Could it mph."

The shadow glared as a sock was stuck in her mouth.A soft snore came from Ivan as the lights continued on and off.

"Power surge?"

Sabrina shook her head, pointing at the small white cloud.

"GAHHHHHH-"

Sabrina and Megana clumped their hands over their friend's mouth as a srceam came from two other rooms, Francoise's room and Chang and G.B.'s room.The three(-er four A/N:can't forget Ivan.) hurried out into the hall way, slidding open the wooden door to Francoise's room.

"Daijoubu de gozaru ka?"

Kage asked, the youngest member of their little group sweetdropped.

"I don't think people use that anymore, Kage."

Kage hit Sabrina over the head, causing the girl to yelp.

"You ok?"

Francoise pointed at the cloud like form, not trusting her voice.

"Ano....."

Kage trailed off, Sabrina sighed and grolwed, her finger nails forming into claws, she lunged forward, the newly formed weapon slicing through the ghost, sleave moving just enough to give Francoise clear veiw of a deep scar on her wrist. Kage made a face as the girl retracted her claws.

"Kage no baka."

"Oi, Sabrina no baka!"

She shouted, hitting the girl over the head again, giving another bump.(A/N: Did I mention that they never left Japan?Guess not..........)

"Thank you."

"Your welcome Francoise-chan."

Sabrina smiled, then took off after Kage as she started to run.

~*~

Joe growled, opening the door to the girl's room, to his surprise, they weren't there.The sleeping bags were rolled up and on the bed, a small note was scribbled down on a piece of paper in Sabrina's sloppy kanji.

'Joe,

We went out with Francoise, don't worry about it though, we'll be back around five, oh, and have you looked at a calender lately?Tomorrow's the first day of fall.

-Sab.'

He sighed, pulling her duffle bag onto the bed, looking threw it, swimsuit, her only balck t-shirt, her only pair of jeans and her finerless gloves were gone.

"Is it safe to say that they're at the hot springs and then heading down to the beach?"

He asked himself,not even bothering to see what was gone from the other girl's bags.

~*~

"I'm not going swiming, I only brought that so Meg could use it."

Sabrina growled, crossing her arms. She had wrapped bandages around her forearms to keep most of her secerts from Francoise.

"Oh, Neko-chan, come on."

Kage whined.

"Shadow, I already said no."

"Demo."

"IIE."

She hissed, sitting down.

"The springs was one thing, but this is way over the line."

The girl winced, she could almost see the girl blowing fire, as if on que, she rised her hand causing a small spark of fire at the chinese girls left foot, Kage yelped and ran over to the water, mistake, Sabrina's eyes changed from sky blue to ocean blue as salt water came up after Kage, who just about screamed and dived over to Megana, how just moved as the half japanese girl's eyes changed to a sandy amber, a sand dragon attacked Kage, covering her.

"Man, I didn't even get to use wind or ice, Kage, your getting weak."

Kage glared at the teenager, eyes firey as she spit out half a mouthful of wet sand, the other half was stuck to the roof. Francoise giggled, the other people on the beach didn't mind the fact that Sabrina was using the elements.

"Could you explain?"

Sabrina blinked up into a familiar pair of silver eyes.

"Miko!!"

She exclaimed, latching onto the girls neck causing the two of them to fall backwards.

"Ano?"

Sabrina grinned.

"Guys, this is Miko Sinamura, she helped teach me how to use Ice, Earth, Fire, Wind and Water."

The girl smiled at them, shoulder length grey hair moving as she cocked her head to the side like a confussed cat.

"And who are you three, my usubaka pupil can be forgetful."

"SENSAI!"

Sabrina growled.

"I'm Megana."

"Kage Kanna."

"Francoise Arnoul."

Miko smiled.

"Now, what are you doing at the beach, Rine?"

Sabrina turned blue at the nickname, as well as the question.

"I made her come, I have full custody as her guardian."

"Why?Gilmore's still alive."

Kage sweetdropped.

"You don't what she's been though, do you?"

"How could I, she dissappeared when she finished her training and lessons."

Sabrina bit her lip and slowly backed away.

"They's because the Black Ghost was after her, they needed her to release me, and to think they thought I'd hurt Rina-chan."

Megana made a face and crossed her arms.

"Can you blame them, your a life cyborg, you can chose wether or not whoever you touch can live or die, or if they're a cyborg, turn human, live, or die."

Kage said, placing a fisted hand on her hip and shaking her index finger. Before they noticed it, Sabrina had summoned a sand dragon and was halfway to the sidewalk.

~*~

".........then she spilt it all over the..........."

Sabrina sighed and tuned the conversation out, taking an unsuccesful try drink out of the malts that Miko had ordered for them.Settting the 'cursed' glass down she eyd Kage's half melted half drank malt and set her arm on the table, hand on her forehead.

'Why is it so hot, it's September, ain't it?'

She thought.

'How come it feels like .........'

"Looks like you've got a fever."

Miko said, voice motherly as she removed her hand from the girls forehead to her cheek.

"We should get her back home."

Francoise said, standing up.

"I'll carry her."

Miko said, wincing as the youngest girl's head hit the table with a weak thud. She slipped under the table and came back out under Sabrina, slipping her off the chair and standing up.

"Let's go."

~*~

"I don't understand it, she's never been sick a day in her life."

Gilmore said, watching as Miko pressed a wet rag onto the face, her silver eyes shone with worry for the girl.

"Well, not excatlly never."

Kage said, sheepishly with a hand behind her head.(A/N: Ah, the classic Goku Son pose.)

"What do you mean?"

"She got sick once before, she had fallen into a lake in the middle of October."

She said, walking out as Chang annonced that he could use some help in the kitchen. Sabrina let out wimper as Miko stood up, planning on making sure that the cousins didn't burn the old dojo down.

"Oh, you used to much energy Sabrina-chan, you should have stopped walking when you summoned that dragon."

Her eyes widened as the girls body jerked, though the wimpering didn't stop, it got loud enough for Joe to walk in the room to see what was going on.

"You go watch the fire hadzards, I'll watch her."

He said, taking the seat that she she had left on the bed.

"Hai."

~*~

'They'd make a cute couple.'

Miko thought, looking up from peeling potatos as Chang opened the drawer under her.

"Can get off the counter?"

"Dame."

"What do you mean 'forget it'?"

She grinned, holding a hand infront of her at the man blew fire at her, though it formed into a ball as she threw it back at him, hitting him in face.

"OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW!"

~*~

"What's burning?"

Joe blinked, looked down at Sabrina and and covered his nose, indeed, something was burning, more like someone.

"Oh no."

He winced, the door opened and three burnt people walked in, Fransoice, Albert and Miko.

"Ka!"

Sabrina gasped, shoting up and sending a glare torwards her sensai, who just ducked behind Albert with Francoise as the blue haired girl started throwing spare pillows at them, until she ran out, that is.

"Looks like your fine."

Miko muttered, sticking her tounge out, big mistake there, she was thrown into the wall by a grinning Sabrina, who's eyes were glowing a clear white.
