Chapter 3

Raindrops

**********

Rain dancing in streams,

like strings, like that of tears of the crying sky.

Thunder screams, slashing the sky in two.

The sky cries even more.

Like the pain of being slashed in two.

I watch the sky, flows of sorrow,

Tears of life

Giving plants it's living force.

Yet it cries,

Cries so horribly sad as the dark colors of its face builds.

Falling to the ground in bombs,

Bursting as it touches the ground

Plop! It sounds,

Feeding the rivers,

Over flooding them, giving too much power until they bursts.

Patter patter they go,

Echoing into people's hearts soothing some.

Remaining until the end of time in others

Clouding,

Wet,

Cold,

Until in that someone's heart only lives the sorrow of the crying sky.

Poem of 'Raindrops down my heart'

**********

"Kuwabura!" Yusuke shouted desperately. The thing slid the blade up to Kuwabura's throat.

"Rose whip!" someone shouted from somewhere. A lane vine like rope encircled the stuck boy. Yusuke looked up to see what happened, as did the thing and kuwabura, but when the thing looked up a black flashbehind him. He moved his sword top the things neck "let the baka ningen go" someone whispered in it's ear. Kuwabura's ears pricked up at the 'baka' remark. "who are you calling baka! Hey Hiei come here and I'll fight you, you shorty!" he started struggling in the things hold. Kurama watched from above a building closely at what was happening below him. Noticing the slight distraction made by Hiei, he reacted quickly. With a firm grip of his whip, he tugged at if hard. Yusuke looked up at his friend Kurama as he went flying out of the bog. The zombie like hands tried to. "Kurama, Yosh! and I thought I was gonna die like that!" Kurama smiled at his friend and together they jumped down from the shadows,

Noticing what had just happened the thing reacted back quickly. With an elbow he sent Hiei flying backwards losing his sword. "Rose whip!" Kurama lashed out, his whip slashing his opponent . he ran with his youko speed at the thing. It smiled , still holding Kuwabura firmly. Suddenly his eyes narrowed. Smile faded, a sense of darkness seem to cover its face. Kurama's eyes widened at the expression , he knew what was going to happen next, but he wished it was a wrong feeling, but no such luck. And that was what happened, the blade touched kuwabura's neck, a drop of blood appeared from the slight touch.

"Kuwabura!" they all screamed. Yusuke ran forward, Kurama's anger and desperateness surged up, Hiei's eye widened in fury. Yet they were all helpless as they watched the death of their friend. Something shot from above. A light as thin as a line. With a "pang!" it hit the sword of the monster and broke neatly in two. Stunned by the sudden hit, he let go of Kuwabura. Hiei seeing a chance grabbed him to safety. "hn, baka ningen" he whispered under his breath. Kuwabura was full stoned at the shock, his neck bleeding from the razor but light cut. He was totally shaking "I...I nearly died!".

"Hold it right there!" It was a female voice. Everyone looked up at where the voice came from. Two shadows leapt from a huge nearby tree, and landed straight in front of the battle with a wide mouthed Kuwabura, a suspicious kurama, a dagger eyed Hiei, a blanl faced Yusuke and a lost 'thing'. It was two girls wearing identical navy suits crossed with a sailor suited school uniform; uniform. They had masks on covering their eyes and half of their face leaving a patch of their right cheeks. One of the girls had short blond hair with braids braided into her hair on both sides with two beads tied on and fixed on with long ribbons falling down past her waist. The other girl was a brunette and had two buns instead.

Their long strands of their hair ribbons floating in the light breeze passing. "hold it right there!" the brown hair girl on the left shouted. "On behalf of the Mo......" she paused when the other girl said something to her "Ahem..Jupiter we're not Sailor Moon"

"Whatever...." she answered. The thing looked at the two girls, its fury began to show its way through his twisted expression. Its calm mocking face turned horridly wrong, it held its hand over the hurt area. Kurama noticed that it was burning, drops of tar like blood escaping its hold. With a swish of their short skirts both girls charged at the thing. It uttered a cry of anger. In great speed the girl called 'Jupiter' threw something at it. Hiei looked at them closely, raised an eyebrow and said "Hn". He noticed that they threw the things out in a funny way. They were marble like, yellow, golden translucent glass like beads. The 'Jupiter' girl held each bead between her fingers like holding daggers "Kin" she screamed attacking while running towards that enemy. Yusuke snorted "What's so dangerous about a few beads" he said aloud, but to his surprise once she shot them out at the thing light emitted. Shielding their eyes from the brightness, they looked up after to see what happened. The thing was trapped they realized, and down on the floor was a huge star with a circle around it like a gothic pattern. Placed inside the star were weird patterns and hieroglyphs of unknown symbols. Jupiter was standing there; kurama guessed eyes closed (since he couldn't see because she was wearing a mask) hands together; a surge of power surrounded her. Kuwabura watched in awe as he felt a strange sensation inside him, even Yusuke and the others felt it too. It was different, unlike 'Ki' it had another feeling of force in it yet they couldn't explain what.

The thing trapped inside thrashed about, yet the girl stayed calm mumbling words. Kurama guessed it was a sort of relic spell kind of thing. It tried to get out of the middle of the star but there was already a lighted barrier, which spread up to the sky preventing it form going. Suddenly it spread its wings and flew up high everyone gasped except for the two intruders. "Now Uranus!" she screamed to the girl opposite her on the other side of the monster. They hadn't noticed what the other girl was doing, but she was tending to the sick victim. At the scream she stood up with a flash and produced another marble bead. It was like magicians doing magic. "KI" she screamed and shot out the bead. It hit the thing on the back with great speed, almost immediately the thing collapsed and crumpled up. It fell with a splat back down. The 'Uranus' girl was standing in the exact pose as 'Jupiter'. She too was now mumbling something, and power started to surge up as well so big now that it created great riplets moving the leaves. Their clothes seem to float. It was a magnificent sight.

Then for some reason they drew a star in mid air, following their fingers it emerged. With the thing still screaming in pain they shot out the symbol. There was a huge scream; a light so bright, what happened then was unbelievable. The thing split up in two like a butterfly shedding its cocoon. Its gruesome outer skin melting like black blue butter. Slowly it began to peel off.

Yusuke gaped at what he saw. It was a creature, so delicate a glow seem to come from it. It floated in mid air, in a position curled up like a ball hugging his knees, a little child it was, wings of a dragonfly still, yes, yet his little cheeks were rosy pink. Two little antennae like things twitched, his clean robe like clothes floated around him, but all of this was gone in a second. Like a genie withdrawing back into its bottle it started to disappear. Kurama looked own under the little child and found there was a rose. Its petals began to open as the boy withdrew back into it until he was gone. The flower closed and everything was gone, what was left of the contents was another bead. Uranus took the bead and looked through it.

The Urameshi group all stared at the two girls, mouths wide open,

Kurama spoke first "Who are..." But they didn't say anything or look their was. Yusuke started to get impatient "Hey yous! Can't you understand Japanese!" yet they still seemed to pretend that they were invisible. The blond hair girl turned back and resumed to her tending to the alive but dead girl and the other one hurried over to her companion. Yusuke was about to charge over and half strangle them but Kurama stopped him and gave him the don't-be-too-careful look. Then carefully moved closer to the two people. Not caring of they wanted to hear what he was about to say he said it anyway. "Girl's already gone..she doesn't have a spirit anymore. It was eaten of taken or some rather by the monst......thing " he finally said. "They didn't react, but he went on "They seem to be feeding on human spirits and they were undestroyable but I guess we were wrong. Its no use doing anything, you can't do anything. I know that you two know how to use akuryo taisan but that's not enough" Kurama was getting really serious now. "Look all I want to say is they're not normal youkai, if you want to keep your life then stay out of this. There's more out there any they're dangerous, you're not always that lucky"

They didn't look at him. Kuwabura, Yusuke and Hiei was flaming in anger "Attitude problem!" Kuwabura shouted, but Kurama remained silent looking at the two girls in the back he knew they could hear what he was saying but they just pretended not to.

For some reason they both stood up, and slowly backed away from the victim. The girl in blond hair raised her hand, which held the bead which the thing ig the fairy like thing just turned into. Kurama's heart skipped. Yusuke screamed "Ah! What the hell are you doing!" They looked in horror as the girl was about to shoot the bead at the victim. The Urameshi group had seen what had happened to the monster like thing. It had split opened and decintergrated and this was a human they were looking at. If they shot it at her god know what will happen. Yup it would kill her like a gun shooting bullet just worse. Kurama leapt at them both. Stunned at what the guys were doing they just move away in time before an encounter. "I only said that you can't do anything about it! I didn't say to kill her because you can't do anything about it!" Kurama shouted in desperateness.

Yusuke ran towards the hurt girl, but he was too late the blond hair girl had picked her up first and ran off with the empty body. They all ran after her but was block off by the other girl. "move away" Hiei said coldly. Kurama's too turned cold, yet no matter how angry they were they couldn't look behind her mask, to see what she might be thinking. "I don't fight women!" Yusuke said so stay out of my path or else..!" she didn't move, Hiei got really angry and pulled pout his sword to attack. But to their misjudgment she turned around and ran after the other girl. The four guys ran after her, she didn't seem like she wanted to fight but Kurama kept his senses up for trap. Hiei was the first to catch up they could see the other girl in front running with the victim in her arms. Hiei slashed his sword at her but each missing her by an inch. She stopped in her steps stealing a peak at her friend behind her she decided to change her method. The blond ahir girl had stopped too and seeming to understand what her friend wanted to do, she put down the hurt girl. I can't stand it any longer Haruka, do it quick, I'll so my best to waste time and not let them come near you

Mako I just need a sec it'll be quick I promise! Makoto and Haruka were exchanging thoughts. Kurama watched as the girl turned around and drew something in mid air and gasped as if was actually a barrier, now none of them can get through! "Yosh!...." Yusuke cried in anger and shot his rei gun at it but it was no use. Without thinking Kurama too pulled out a rose. "Rose whip!" he shouted, a thorned whip flew out at the girls way.

At the same time out of the corner of his eye he caught the action of what the blond hair girl was doing.

The whip was flying so fast at the girl, but she....

She stood back and shot the bead at the victim.. c The whip so long, so sharp met with her skin....

Kurama's heart stopped as a bright light appeared when the bead hit the victim. He thought that was all, but it wasn't, the light emitting from the bead wrapped around the victim and in a second it soaked into her body and was gone.

The thorns cut through her left arm, the pain so sudden, so fast. Blood gushed out of her wound in rivers.

Kurama's jaw dropped open at the sight of what he just did. She did it on purpose he realized. She could of moved away he realized, but she didn't. she just stood there. The girl collapsed on one knee. Her right hand pressed hard against the deeply cut wound. Still the blood squeezed out in between her fingers in huge amounts. Shocked at what he had done, a aching pain developed in his heart. He didn't mean to hurt her, he just wanted to.......hurt her? He didn't know. His thoughts were beginning to crash together.

"JUPITER!" the other girl cried, running to her friend. Kurama tried to walk over and help her but the blond hair girl looked up. He stopped; he could almost feel her eyes burning through her mask. He turned away and realized that Kuwabura, Yusuke and Hiei were looking at him too, but when they all turned back, they were gone. No sound at all, no evidence that they were here at all. All that was left was a huge patch of pale pink roses of where the girl he hit use to be. He found no traces of blood just roses......

Trying to pick himself up after the incident he rushed to the victim, as did the rest of the gang. To their surprise she stirred a bit and her eye's fluttered open. She blushed when she saw Kurama. At that moment the guilt seemed to build up even more inside Kurama's heart. He wanted to stab himself. Yusuke also felt a sense of guilt. They had been trying to help them all along and they actually thought they were enemies! "Baka Yusuke!" he said to himself. Kurama wasn't listening or anything, everything seemed to drain away from him. Nothing seemed to matter, because it was him that put that horrid cut into her arm. He looked at his hand filled with the petals of the pink roses that she had left and whispered softly "Gomen.....jupiter".

"Mako! Mako, are you alright?" Haruka took off her mask revealing a concerned expression. Makotot was leaning in her for support, her arm flooded with streams of red. Haruka couldn't bear to touch her in case it hurt her "I...I'm Ok" she replied weakly. She never thought it would do that much damage not to move away form the attack, but it proved wrong. They were strong. Haruka took her friend back to their house and quickly up her arm to stop the blood. She had lost lot of blood. "What about yours" makoto asked. Haruka looked at her arm, a patch of purple was beginning to develop on the sleeve of her left arm. Sje took her suit and shirt off revealing an exact same cut as Makoto. "do you want me to help you".

Haruka didn't let her move "No, its Ok. You know that I only get the after effects. They're not as serious and they heal faster. I would wrap it up if it was me". Makoto tried to say something but was cut off again "Hey, koneko chan, your blood stops mine stops. Understand with that she left Makotos room. Makoto sat on her bed looking at her feet. Who were these people anyway. The words of the boy echoed through her head. She sighed. and why do we have to dress like this anyway? it was Haruka's voice in her head I thought you weren't going to talk to me Whatever they talked for a little about the four guys they were fighting with anyway why do we have to dress like that anyway? Makoto thought about it for the moment because you look cute and it's what Oij chan did for us when we were young and besides it's a disguise, it you don't want people to have an excuse to recognize then keep it that way. I actually look like a girl!you are a girl and a attractive one at that and with that Makoto cut her off and decided to go for a bath.

~~~~~~~~~~

Haruka looked at the cut that came from the after effects of Makoto. It was deep and it hurt a little. She figured that it had hurt much more in Makoto since at the time of the shot the surging pain hit her so suddenly as well as to Makoto. On her left arm there was this line, she touched it and followed her finger along it. It started to glow red a little bit and it was already healing too. She knew that by the day after tomorrow it would be totally gone. She was angry, angry at that guy who put that cut into Makoto, and she felt like bashing his head in. she knew that is was no use thinking of it because she didn't even know who these people were. She sighed; they didn't seem to be like normal people. They had powers as well, but for some reason she didn't feel really easy with them..thought she felt the force of a youkai. She sighed again she knew that the incident was totally his fault. It was the only way to give her time to save that hurt girl and also the only way to prevent the rest of the brainless from attacking all at the same time so she..

Haruka shook that image away from her head. Stop thinking about it! She thought. She took off her bra and walked into the bathroom seeing herself in the mirror she cursed herself for looking like a girl.

**********

It was a cloudy night. Outside the huge cotton like grey clay, of clouds stuck to the starry sky. So think that not a spark could be seen. Even when three streaks split the skies, Falling, they came far from another galaxy. The three people slipped from above. Intruders they were supposed to be. The three slipped in the shadows, across roof tops and down an alley. "Do you think that we could find them...I mean we've been to...like....twelve dimensions and we couldn't even find one of them!". The leader of the group shrugged. "Think it as another holiday". His two friends sweat dropped. Seiya, he was always like that, and with that they walked into the crowd.

~~~~~~~~~~

Kurama stared back at him unmoving, "So?". "So that's impossible. Your marks are always higher than mine and think that you got a simple question like multiplication wrong. You don't think I'm stupid do you? What 's wrong?". Kurama sighed and started walking, "It's nothing really important...I just feel guilty" Kaitou looked at him closely, Kurama was looking straight ahead. "Did your girlfriend dump you or something" Kurama stopped, fell on the floor and sweat dropped. "No I don't even have one" he paused "Yet". Kaitou's eye's lighted up at the 'Yet' "Aha! I'm right it is about a girl! Who is it! Is she pretty.." Kurama sighed and kept on walking, until he walked into an unknown person on the corner. She crashed head on into his arm and rebounded off him. In a flash, kurama turned and saved her from her fall. His left hand supporting her head, his arm supporting her back. He felt his fingers run through her pony tail. Kurama was supprised at how soft her hair was. Her strands of mohagony brown slipped ease through his fingers like silk. It was even better treated than his hair! the girl quickly regained her balance. Supprised at Kurama's sudden action she she quickly moved back, "Gomen..." He said. He looked at her , she had these huge glasses on so her couldn't see her eye's "That's Ok. I should be that one saying sorry" and she hurried off in front of him. Kaitou stepped up to Kurama. " what was that all about. Kurama smiled it was the first time he smile in that week!. He suddenly sucked in a breath "Kaitou are we forgetting something" Kaitou looked back at him "We're getting late!" they took off towards their school.
