Night Rain

Chapter 4:

''She's what!?!'' Tyson yelled, he cannot believe that.

''Ayama is dead. She died three years ago, murdered by her dad. Amaya looks so like her… but they are so different too!'' Kumiko said. she looked at the sleeping girl fondly, ''She's like a younger sister to me. Amaya is so kind hearted and helps out with everyone! Despite her illness. But when Ayama was living here, she was evil. She used to burn moths wings for the fun of it.''

''That's so cruel!'' Ray said.

Amaya stirred, she got up and rubbed her eyes. They were no longer dazed but more human, livelier.

''Hmm, what happened Kumi? Who are they?'' she asked curiously, looking at each of them in turn.

''They are your new guardians. Don't worry, me, Rikku and the others will still look after you! Don't ever scare me again! You were trying to cut your own neck open earlier!''

''Was I? Oh no! I'm so sorry! Ah!!!! I was trying to make dinner when I was last conscious! And I'm sorry, um, guardians. I forgot you would be coming in today. But I did prepare dinner!'' she smiled, and got up from the couch.

''Don't call us guardians but by our proper names! I'm Max, there's Tyson, Ray, Kai and Kenny.''

''Okay, I'll remember. I better finish making dinner!'' she walked really fast towards the sliding doors that led to the hallway and into the kitchen.

''One of us better go and watch her. Why don't you go, Kai?'' Kumiko asked.

''Whatever.'' He followed the girl into the kitchen.

''Hi, I'm Amaya. You're gonna love it here! Er, where is the knife?'' she smiled apologetically. Kai went into the taller cupboards to get the knife but he didn't hand it over. He walked over to where some half cut carrots lay and began cutting them himself.

''Hey! I was doing that!'' she said angrily.

''We don't want another suicidal attempt. You go and start the cooking,'' he stated.

''Fine,'' she went over and started heating up some water. Adding the ingredients once the water boiled, she stirred it. A few minutes later she had the rice cooking and was already making the sauce for the boiled vegetables. The food was beginning to smell nice.

Kai sniffed the air and allowed the sweet aroma of Amaya's cooking in.

*

When Kai and Amaya left, Ray was determined to get as much info about Amaya and Ayama as possible.

''What does Amaya do in her spare time? How many suicidal attempts?'' he asked Kumiko.

''Well, this is the first but Naida claimed she tried an overdose. Amaya does a lot of things. She goes down to the market to sell flowers or cakes. She also learns sword fighting. You would always find her doing something.'' She answered.

''Oh, I see. Why does her eyes glaze over when she tries to do something weird?''

''It's her illness possessing her, I think. Amaya also stares into the distance quiet often. Like she sees something else. But she looks so much happier when she ''gets back''.''

Just then Amaya came in followed by Kai. They held some dishes and she laid them out on the little table. Kumiko got up and grabbed some cushions.

Everyone sat down and started eating. Amaya didn't eat a lot but she sat there watching.

''This is really good!'' Max said between mouthfuls.

Tyson didn't say a thing but was eating at record pace. Kumiko and Amaya stayed in wonder as the indigo haired boy stuffed himself. The other blade breakers sweatdropped, embarrass for their team mate.

''Tyson! Watch what you eat, or else!'' Kai barked.

Tyson didn't look up but carried on spooning food into his mouth. He said, while his mouth was full, ''Watch what you eat or else!'' mocking Kai, ''Loosen up sourpuss, always telling people not to do this not to do that. You are such a boring wanker!''

The blade breakers shook their heads. It was never a wise move to insult Kai.

Kai shut his eyes, trying to control his anger. He calmly got up and walked over to Tyson. Then picking up the boy by the collar, he dragged him out of the room, slamming the slide door as he went. Everyone winced as they heard the pitiful screams. Ray and Max got up and ran into the hallway. The two of them held Kai back and Tyson crawled into the living room again. Panda eyes staring at the food on the table.

Kai walked back in, giving Tyson a death glare, and arms folding, as if to say that he wasn't finish with Tyson yet.

Amaya looked back and forth, feeling the tension. She got up and ran towards the kitchen. She came back with two slices of cucumber.

''Here, cover your eyes with these. We don't have any thing else unless you would rather have your eyes bandaged up,'' she smiled apologetically. Tyson took them gratefully.

The night went on and everyone decided to take an early night. Kumiko had taken them through a door in the hall. There was another hallway and there were 10 other doors.

''These are all bedrooms. There are loads because they would come in handy one day,'' Amaya said as they followed Kumiko.

''What do you mean by they would come in handy?'' Max asked.

''Well, I guessed uncle would be sending someone to look after me. You could all have a room each or you can share a room if you're scared.'' None of the boys admitted being scared so they were given separate rooms. Kumiko said she would be staying to make sure everything is alright, so everyone went to bed.

Kai went into his room. It was opposite Amaya's, next to Ray's and Max's. Kumiko decided that Tyson and him are to be kept as far from eachother as possible. He sat on the edge of his bed and studied his surroundings. There was a painting of a phoenix, Kai stared at it for it had a striking resemblance to Dranzer. Little did he know that every one of the bedrooms occupied by the blade breakers had a painting of some sort. The room had no window but was nicely furnished to make up for it. he had a mahogany table next to his bed, there was a very expensive looking armchair in one corner, a mirror and a wardrobe. The floor had a lovely warming rug. The room looked very cosy indeed.

Kai laid down and shut his eyes for a minute, after all those hours with them, he was finally gonna get some privacy. Slowly, he dozed off.

Kai was in the garden, again but he wouldn't know that, he recalled no such memory of being here before. This time he was standing beneath a tree, A sukura tree to be more exact, it's pearly pink petals swirling round him. The sky was a light blue, not night and no rain. Birds could be heard and the soft lapping of the ponds. He stared around him, and slowly, the image began fading.

The skies turned a crimson dark colour and clouds gathered as if to anticipate a procession. The birds had stopped their squawking and once again, lightly, a song began. Like trickling water, a voice so quiet, any other ear would miss it. Kai found himself moving towards the sound, his feet making the necessary steps. Slowly, ever so slowly…

*

Ray woke up to footsteps. Light and slow steps. He started worrying, what would get up now? he forced himself to get up and shook the paralysation out of him. He went towards the door and stood there. He breathed in deeply and quickly slided the door open.

He peered round the corners and what met his eyes shocked him…

Standing upright, arms to his sides and eyes closed was Kai. He walked on, oblivious to anything. Slow steps. He walked past Ray.

Ray grabbed him by the shoulders a shook him really hard. Kai did not stir, Ray then turned to face Kai and slapped him hard in the face,

''Wake up, Hiwartari!'' He yelled.

Kai responded to that, he opened his eyes and got into a fighting stance, ready for anything. He then looked up and saw Ray looking down worryingly.

''You were walking, sleep walking to be precise,'' Kenny walked out his room, he had witnessed it all.

Kai glared at them all, for witnessing him sleep walking.

''Is this the first time?'' Kumiko had also woke up.

''Yes.''

''I'll go and get Amaya, she might know,'' Kumiko opened the door to Amaya's room and softly muttered her name. There was no reply. She said it louder and there was still no reply. Kumiko went right in and ran back out a second later.

''Amaya! Where is she!?!'' she screeched.

''What?'' Ray and Kai said in unison.

''I'm here, don't worry about me,'' They heard a voice from the end of the corridor.

''Amaya? Is that you?'' Kumiko pushed past Ray and Kai.

''Yes, it's me. I was thirsty, lets sleep, please,'' Amaya looked up pleadingly, she couldn't stand it when every one was so worried about her.

''Ok, then'' every one slipped back into their rooms, everyone apart from Ray and Amaya. She had already made her way past him and he watched her go. Ray looked at the floor and his eyes widened slightly, he blinked and rubbed them. 'I could have sworn her feet were transparent. Maybe I am tired.'' He went back in his room, thinking.

Amaya too went back in.

A girl looking exactly the same spoke. ''You Won't being very careful.''

''I'm sorry but it's getting risky, look how many of them there is!''

''You know what I want and you are growing weaker each day. I need strength and you will do as you 're told.'' She commanded.

''Yes.'' Amaya looked down. The two joined as one again and the girl slept what looked like a troublesome nightmare.

That's it for now my child. Okay, I'll stop with my weirdness. I like chocolate! Sorry!

If I was a star, I'll shine so bright, let out the light, but inside, I am nothing more than a black star.

Ok, I will stop, sometimes I have no idea on what I'm writing. Thanx for reading!
