Sooooooo…….. hello.

Helloooooooo.

Night Rain

Chapter 7:

Amaya had went inside the temple and followed the blood drips. She wasn't scared. Once you're gone, it's harder to feel emotions. She went towards the corner and looked. A hole in the ground. Strange. It was like a tunnel. She had half a mind to go in there now.

''Amaya''

''What?'' she whirled round gracefully and knelt down, ready to attack the first sign of movement.

''Amaya, what are you doing?''

She blushed. No way out…''I wanted to um, pray to the dead priest.''

He stared at her and his gaze turned to the bloody floor.

Amaya took her chance. She willed her ankle to open up. It did.

When Kai looked back up, he saw Amaya sitting on the floor looking helpless. He rushed forward to check on her.

''You alright? What happened?'' he asked her as he looked at the damage.

''Well, I accidentally scrapped my ankle on a bit of glass, right where the blood is. As you can see, I can't seem to stand up anymore.'' She lied.

Kai didn't look that convinced, the girl was standing fine when he came into the temple. He better get her back. he turned round and knelt down.

''Kai? What are you doing?'' Amaya asked curiously.

''Get on. I'll carry you back.''

Amaya blushed but accepted anyway. How else was she going to get back?

Ray sat on the floor of Kenny's room. Where is he? There was something wrong. Terribly wrong. When they first got here, they saw what look Amaya but was actually Ayama's ghost. He himself saw Amaya walk down the hall but he didn't see her legs. This morning Amaya told him Kenny went downstairs but she looked too sinister to be the girl. At the graveyard he found two similar graves, one belonging to the not too long ago Ayama and another who had been dead for centuries, Amaya. To make it worst, Kenny has gone and Dizzy destroyed.

He decided on telling Kai tonight, the most sensible voice about them. Footsteps, who could it be? Whatever it was might have been the one who took Kenny.

''Ray?'' a girl's voice sounded through the hall.

'Kumi' he thought.

''Kumi! I'm in Kenny's room.''

The girl with braided hair ran in. she looked around the room with wide eyes, it was a mess.

''What happened here? I left the others because we couldn't find you Amaya or Kai anywhere. Where did you go?'' she asked hurriedly

''I don't know what happened here. Kenny has gone and dizzy has vanished from her laptop.'' Ray answered. He wouldn't tell her about the graves.

''Well, that's worrying. Tyson, Max and Naida have gone off to see Rikku. They would be back later tonight. But I'm worried about my Amaya. What if something has happened to her?'' she carried on.

''I don't know but if we wait here, I'm sure Kai would find his way back with Amaya hopefully.'' He laughed nervously.

Ten minutes later the door opened and Kai came in. Kumiko ran towards him. She looked behind and saw Amaya sleeping.

''Thanks for taking care of her. I'll take it from here.'' Kai handed Kumiko the girl. She went in the direction of her room.

''Kai, I have a question.'' Ray said from the living room.

Kai went in and sat down without saying a word.

''Well, I think Amaya is already dead.'' He went straight out and said it. he didn't plan to say it like that.

Kai sat up and his eyes widened. ''Why do you say that?''

''I saw a grave with her name on and Kenny has gone missing.''

''What has Kenny got to do with this? You probably mistaken the grave.'' Kai said.

''No! I never had mistaken it. I'm being serious, I know what I saw!'' Ray said.

''There could be many Amayas' in this world.''

''what? Even ones which can float?'' Ray yelled.

''What are you on about?'' Kai said, his eyes narrowing.

''Amaya floats, she has no feet!''

''She scraped her ankle across a bit of glass today and it bled. I think you need some sleep. So do I.'' Kai got up and left. End of discussion.

Ray looked at the floor and clenched his fist. No one was believing him.

Kai opened his eyes and found himself by a pond full of lilies. The sky was dark and stars peeked out of the dark blanket. He was on the bridge by the pond, a Chinese wisteria had grown by the bridge, and it's long willowy branches winding through the smooth rock. Rock? It felt smooth. Like real rock. But this is real right?

He walked forward off the bridge and onto the rocky pavement. There were plenty of plants, like Japanese maples and other eastern flowers. The air was warm and humid. He carried on walking. Driplets of rain fell softly on him. Only a bit of water. And then it fell heavily. Big droplets splashing down on to him.

First just a slight hum. The beginnings of a note. A clear ring in the air. Then the full song came. No words but a sweet voice. It floated heavily in the pouring rain, glittering about the ponds and causing many ripples. The voice tingled in his ears and made him want to follow, luring him towards the bearer of such melody. He found himself jogging towards the music, his keen ears listening for the signs of where it came from. It was tricking him, to the left then the right. But somehow he knew he was following the notes the right way. the splattering off the rain attempted to flatten the voice but the louder the rain voiced its opinions the easier to distinguish the song from rain.

Then he slowed down towards a quick walk. A girl with her back to him sat on the wet grass. Her long black hair stuck to her back from the rain. Slowly as if she was expecting him, her song ended. The rain left along with it, the only sound was the leaves drip drops of water.

''Sit down by me'' a familiar voice said.

not knowing why, he obeyed and sat on the grass beside her. He stole a glance at her and saw the sapphire eyes glistening. With two emotions, fear and hunger. Hunger for something only dead people would understand, Kai would never know till he too, was dead.

''Who are you?'' he found himself saying.

''Don't you remember? Do you know where we are?'' she said.

''…no,'' he answered.

''Don't worry who I am. I just want to talk to you. Will you talk to me? it's been so long…'' she closed her eyes and smiled sadly.

*

Amaya sat on her bed crossed legged, her eyes shut but tears streaming down her face.

Ayama sat opposite her, hands joined with hers.

''Say it! say what I tell you and earn his trust!'' Ayama hissed.

''I wished we had more time, but try not to leave, stay here with me.'' Amaya sobbed. However where Kai was, the tears and sobbing would not be heard.

*

''If you tell me who you are, I'll stay,'' Kai answered.

''I'm someone you know but won't remember. You will know me for sure later,'' for one second only, the eyes changed slightly to a more evil expression.

''Right…Where are we?''

''In my garden. I have been here for a long time, so long and lonely. You are the first to find me, are you here to rescue me?'' she asked, eyes full of hope.

Kai was confused, she didn't look trapped.

''Rescue you from who?'' he asked.

*

Ayama slapped Amaya hard round the face, leaving a burning mark.

''Stop trying to fight, I am stronger than you! Now get him to do it!'' she screeched angrily.

''From who, the ghost. She trapped me, I can't leave this area till someone frees me, please help!'' Amaya tried to stop talking or warn the boy in the dream but it was too hard, Ayama's hold was strong and her life force was slowly leaving, her energy. Any moment, she would disappear into nothing. Without the energy supporting her spirit, she would disperse.

*

''How?'' he asked, the girl's voice was convincing, despite how absurd her story was. He wanted to help her, not knowing why though. It confused him.

''Like this,'' she looked him in the eye and smiled shyly. Slowly, she leaned closer to him, and placed her lips on his.

*

''Good job, girl! Time to switch minds. You're done with and later there will be no Amaya!'' Ayama made herself transparent then entered Amaya's world.

She would enter his mind through Amaya's then a struggle to see who gains control. He would have to do as she says, and slowly as she done to Amaya's spirit, consume his till she needed a new body.

Amaya felt Ayama release her hold on her. This was the time to act, but quickly before the mind switching process was over.

That's it for now, I'm so confused on what I wrote! *~* It doesn't make much sense and I'm sure there's lots of mistakes even though I looked through it! if there is then tell me. There would probably be another two to three chapters unless I find something more to write! Don't forget to review, they are droplets of sunshine!
