Rain woke from her peaceful dream. She opened her sleepy eyes to find it was only 5 o'clock in the morning, she rolled over and groaned as she tried to fall back asleep. It wasn't about to happen as she rolled restlisly in her bed. Finally she had enough of this and quietly got out of her warm bed. The floor was chilly against her bare feet as she quickly put on a pair of ripped baggy jeans and a blue baggy sweater and quietly exited the room without waking any of the sleeping girls.
Once she was into the main room she grabbed an apple from the counter and grabbed a stack of blank paper with a pen. There was one thing Rain loved to do but was embarrassed about it. She loved to sing but she felt that she didn't have a good voice and that singing was for girly-girls. She left the hotel room quietly and slowly made her way to the roof of the hotel.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ray suddenly woke up to the sound of music. He opened his eyes and looked around the room to try and find where the music was coming from but everyone else was still sleeping. He quickly got up and put his usual clothes on. He decided he was going to find this mysterious ghost music as he quickly walked into the main room. The music seemed to get a tiny bit louder as he followed the sound to the hotel room door. He quickly walked out of the room and turned to the stairs where the sound seemed to get louder.
As he neared the roof of the hotel he could tell that it was one person singing and that it sounded like a girl. When he got to the top he slowly opened the door a little to take a peek.
(Rain's song that she's singing)
Made a promise to myself
Locked it way deep down inside
Told my heart we'd wait it out
Swore we'd never compromise
Oh I'd rather be alone
Like I am tonight
Set forth like candles lit
Fades before the morning light
Silence stared me in the face
And I finally heard it's voice
Suddenly the voice stopped as it became quiet once again. Rain sighed as she looked down at her sheet. "What else would work" she cursed as she reread her song. Suddenly clapping could be heard from the doorway. Rain whipped her head around to see Ray standing their with a smile as he clapped. Rain stood up quickly from the ground, she was mad that he had heard her sing.
"You listened to me" She asked him trying to keep her temper down as she stared him in the eyes.
He smiled and nodded his head.
"It was very good" Ray said as he smiled at her. Her temper seemed to vanish when his complement was herd.
"Really" she asked him as she watched his face closely to see if he was lying. He nodded his head once again and she smiled.
"You can't tell anyone you herd me sing" she said as she gave him a if you do your dead look.
"Why not, you sing so well" he said as he looked at her confused. She still had that look on her face. "Okay, Okay I promise" he said as she smiled.
"Because I'm a secret agent and secret agent's don't sing" she said as she sat back down on the ground.
"So how dose it end" Ray asked, he had enjoyed her singing as wanted to hear more. He sat down beside her and she laughed.
"Ha fat chance buddy, you got lucky that time" she laughed as she playfully elbowed him. He laughed as he leaned in over to look at her songs.
"You never finished this song" Ray said as he picked up the paper from where it had been thrown onto the ground.
"I didn't know how to write it" she smiled weakly at him as he read the first couple of lines. "Let me help you" he offered, "You should have something to do with rivers and dreams" he suggested as he handed her the paper.
"Thanks, I'll think about it, well we better go wake the others, you guys have a big tournament today and you should practice" Rain smiled as she lead the way back into the hotel.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Come on Midnight" Mandy yelled at the top of her lungs as her black blade crashed into a light blue one sending it out of the ring with ease.
"I told you that you can't beat me" Mandy smiled evilly at the little boy who quickly picked up his blade and looked at her. He stuck his tongue out and then quickly ran away. Rain walked up to her laughing her head off.
"Guess he doesn't like you much" she laughed as she hugged her sister. Mandy just smiled and then also burst out laughing. The team was standing outside the beystadium waiting to get in. Rain had decided to come for a little while to watch some of the action. Suddenly Rain felt something smooth and cold pushed into her hands as she looked down to see a gold disk with a clear case over it. She looked at Mandy surprised, her sister just smiled.
"Dr. Clover called me this morning, she needs this disk A.S.A.P. So I want you to go to the lab and give it to her" she smiled as she also gave her directions to the lab. Rain smiled as she winked at her to show her that she excepted.
"Good-luck everyone, I have to go but I will try to be back as fast as I can" Rain said as she ran off into the oncoming crowd.
"Where are you going" Ray shouted out to her but she didn't hear him and kept her mind focused on her mission.
"Bladebreakers please report to the beystadium" the announcer called over the intercom.
"I guess were up" Emma said as they made there way to the dish, ready to duke it with their opponents.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The door slowly creaked open as a women with green hair and green eyes looked down at Rain with interest. Rain stared at her closely before she said anything.
"My name is Rain and I was sent here by Mandy" she said in a calm voice as the lady looked at her a smile.
"Come in Rain, my name is Dr. Clover" she smiled as Rain walked into the house, at least she thought it was a house. From the outside it looked like any other ordinary house but the inside looked like a space base. It had computers scattered everywhere and there were many tubes and huge machines. Rain stared in shock, her aqua eyes showed it clearly on her face.
"Like my house" she smiled as Rain stared. "Ya if you call THIS a house" she smiled. "Okay here's the disk" Rain said as she handed over the disk. Dr. Clover grabbed it eagerly and looked at Rain with a hyper smile.
"Thank you, can you come back in three days" she smiled as she pushed Rain out of the door and slammed it behind her. Rain stood on the door step shocked, "Fine" she laughed as she began to make her way back to the beystadium, a pair of orange eyes watched her with interest from the darkness of an alley.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Mandy and Kai were in the middle of their match when Rain had come running into the stadium. She was watching from the top rail as Mandy fought her way over to the other person's blade. They were fighting in a special dish that looked something that came out of a monkeys pen. There were sticks and trees with tires and other odds and ends. Rain watched with worry as an orange blade knocked into her sisters with such force that her blade was flung into the air. Kai also had his hands full with a purple blade which was giving him a run for his money.
"Come on" Rain yelled from where she was standing. All the Bladereakers turned to look at her, Mandy began to laugh at the way her sister was doing a little dance along with her cheer. Mandy got a sudden burst of energy as she turned and glared at her opponent.
"Midnight, lets do this" she shouted as her blade seemed to receive her power as it went at the orange blade. The two blades hit with such force that the orange blade went flying out of the ring and Mandy's blade shot back into one of the tires. Kai watched with a smile as the owner with the purple blade began to tremble as he watched his partners blade fly.
NOW's my chance he thought to himself. "Dranzer go in for the kill" he shouted as his blade shot at the other blade. The other blader watched in horror as his blade flew out of the ring and landed at his feet.
"The Bladebreakers take the win" the Jazz man shouted out as the crowd erupted in cheers. Mandy smiled and waved to everyone in the crowd as Kai just walked over to the bench and sat down.
"Yes" Rain shouted as she did a little dance of joy. Mandy couldn't help but laugh at her sisters silliness. Rain hopped down from the rail and landed gracefully on the floor, she ran over to give her sister a hug.
"You were awesome" she shouted as she looked around at everyone. "You all were" she added even though secretly she only made it on time for Mandy's and Kai's match.
"Thanks" they all said, they knew she missed their matches but that was okay, they didn't really care.
"I saw we have a party" Mandy shouted her excitement getting the better of her. Everyone cheered except for Rain, she had other ideas that night.
"You guys go ahead, I have some plans already" she said sadly, she didn't want to miss the party but she needed some time to herself.
"Okay" Mandy said as she gave her sister a hug good-bye. Mandy was beginning to get to know her sister and one thing she knew for sure was Rain did what Rain wanted to do. Not what anyone else told her to do, she guessed it was because she grew up on the streets by herself for her whole life.
Rain watched as the group walked off out of the stadium. She still didn't feel like she belonged here with everyone else. Her sister had made a life for herself here and Rain felt like she was just clinging off of her and using her. She looked sadly down at the ground, she knew she had to leave her sister eventually.
Rain left the stadium for a walk around the park. So many thoughts were running through her head like her parents, her sister and life. She gently kicked at a stone that was lying on the path.
"Problems" someone said from the darkness. Rain was now in a clearing with trees and bush all around her. She spun around with her fists raised and ready to fight.
"Now now, no need to get feisty" it laughed as a cloaked figure came from behind the trees, beside it was also a smaller figure in a cloak.
"What do you want" she hissed at the two figures now standing in front of her. The smaller one laughed as he lowered his hood to reveal a boy her age with blue hair and orange eyes. ( in case you don't remember who this is it's Charlie but Rain doesn't know that)
"I think the question is more what do you want" he smiled, his orange eyes staring at her with amusement. She glared at him, the other person with the cloak she could tell it was a man was watching with interest. She could barley see his eyes in the darkness.
"I don't know what your talking about" she said as she turned to leave. "Oh but you do" the taller man laughed as she just ignored him and kept walking.
"You want to know what happened to your parents don't you, why they abandoned you" he laughed as she stopped dead in her tracks. How dare he talk about her parents like that, they were killed and it wasen't their fault.
~*~*~*~*~*~Flash Back~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A tiny 5 year old Rain had been playing out in her parents car.
"Rain dinner time" her mother yelled as she went into the house to eat. 5 ½ year old Mandy and and Rain were having a food fight in the kitchen with their pizza. Their mom walked into the kitchen and gave them both a kiss on their heads.
"Me and daddy are going out for awhile, be good for nanny" she smiled as she left the girls in the kitchen.
"Bye bye mommy" Mandy said as she shoved nose into her pizza and giggled.
The Next Morning
The two little girls stumbled into the kitchen to see nanny at the table crying. "Wat da matter nanny" Mandy said as the nanny turned and hugged the two girls.
"Where mama and dada" Rain asked as she pulled away from nanny.
"There not coming home sweetie, they were taken by bad people and killed" the nanny tried to explain to the girls. Tears began to flow from Rain and Mandys eyes as they all hugged on the floor and cried.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*End Flash Back~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Don't talk about my parents, you didn't even know my parents" she hissed at the two figures. The boy with the orange hair smiled at her as she glared at him.
"I have an offer for you" the taller man in the cloak said his piercing eyes looking straight at her.
"Join us and all your questions will be answered" he smirked at her, "and I'll give you what your heart desires most, a bit beast and teach you how to be the best blader the world saw" he smiled at her. She took a step back in surprise, how did he know that she's always wanted a bit beast.
"I know many things and you can too" the boy with the blue hair smiled, "my name is Charlie" he smiled evilly at her.
"Give me a good reason to join you" she said regaining her confidence and standing her ground.
"I can tell you many things that you don't know like of your sister and your future" he laughed as she glared at him, he had gone too far now, she was mad.
"I will never join you" she hissed as she spit down at the guys feet. He just smiled at her, "wrong answer spitfire" he laughed, "you have great strength and will of mind, you would have been an excellent addition, what a waist that now we have to kill you" he sighed.
"You and your sister will find out the truth one day when it's to late" he laughed as he faded into the darkness with the Charlie at his side.
Rain sighed, now she had even more troubles to deal with as she began her walk back to the hotel.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Go Mandy" Tyson cheered as Mandy did the worm on the floor. There was candy and chips scattered everywhere the eye could see. Max, Tyson, Emma and Midi cheered as they watched Mandy dance. Kai watched from the corner with no expression once again with Ray by his side laughing. Kenny and Lindz were in the corner of the room once again on the computer looking up Rain's profile.
"I don't get it" Kenny said as he scratched his head in frustration, "she doesn't have a profile".
"There is something odd about Rain that kind of bugs me" Lindz admitted to Kenny. He turned to look at her in the eyes. Lindz could feel her heart pound as Kenny leaned a little closer to her, his warm lips met hers for a moment of passion. The moment was shattered when Dizzy shouted out to everyone.
"Look at this" she shouted as Kenny and Lindz quickly broke apart blushing scarlet. Dizzy pulled up a picture of Kenny and Lindz kissing.
"I didn't know you had it in you Kenny" Tyson cheered as he slapped Kenny on the back. Mandy was on the ground laughing along with Emma. Ray was laughing also and even Kai had to smirk at Kennys little show.
"We'll leave you two love birds alone" Max said as they all returned to the party. Kenny and Lindz both looked at each other and blushed again.
"Aw young love" Dizzy laughed at the two of them.
"Shut up Dizzy" Lindz said as she glared at the computer. Dizzy just laughed and shut herself down. Suddenly the hotel door opened an Rain walked in, she had a very different look on her face, it was a look of anger a fear mixed together.
"I'm going to bed" she said as she turned and walked into the bedroom without another word. Everyone in the room looked at each other shocked at Rain's sudden change of mood.
"You know Mandy, to be bluntly truthful I don't really like Rain, theirs something about her" Lindz began but Mandy cut her off.
"You would be to if you grew up on the streets" Mandy came to her sisters defense.
"I'm with Lindz Mandy, she's different" Emma said looking Mandy straight in the eye.
"I'm not asking you to be best friends with her" Mandy said getting angry with her friends, "just try to be nice" she pleaded as she looked at her friends.
"I'm going to bed" and with that Mandy walked into the girls bedroom to leave everyone else in the room.
The Girls Bedroom
Mandy walked in to the room find Rain sitting on her bed staring out absent mindly at the stars.
She walked over and sat beside her, over past few days with her sister Mandy had learned that she did really miss her sister over the years and nothing was going to take her away again.
"You okay" Mandy asked as she leaned her head onto her sisters shoulder.
"No" Rain said bluntly, her aqua eyes had a shadowed lost look in them. "Tell me what's wrong" Mandy asked as Rain turned to look at her, it was also Mandys problem in a way. Rain began to tell her about that nights troubles as Mandy sat and listened.
