Episode 2
Having New Experiences
The next morning, Rain woke up at 5:30 AM, ready for a new day. She sat up and yawned, looking around.
"Huh...? Oh yeah... I forgot I came to Aunty Ceci's house..."
Her eyes widened as she remembered.
"Kiseki!"
She looked to her left, nothing was there, and then the right, there the naked doll was. She picked up her little friend and smiled, its eyes were closed as if it were sleeping.
"We've got a big day ahead of us, Kiseki... Let's give it our all..." Rain cooed before remembering once more. "Oh yeah! I was gonna make you some clothes this morning!"
She ran to one of the boxes and saw materials with the colors brown, green, white, blue, yellow, red, etc. She went starry-eyed.
"This is so cool!"
She took a little bit of white and made a long-sleeved shirt that didn't cover Kiseki's whole stomach, and then she took some green and made a green vest that wasn't supposed to close. Then last, she used more green to make little shorts for her doll; she looked great!
"Perfect! You look perfectly fit to fight!"
She looked at the last box and opened it, seeing it had another computer and another little stand, but a little bit larger. Rain blinked and turned on the computer after fixing up the stand; it said to put in the small piece of plastic and choose a weapon to be made.
"A Weapon? Hmm..."
Rain looked up at the ceiling, thinking of a good weapon. Then it hit her, from one of her favorite shows they would use bows and arrows. She smiled and typed in: Bow and Arrows. The plastic soon took the shape of a bow and about 9 arrows in an arrow holder. There were many arrows because Rain put in a handful of plastic. She laughed and took them, putting the arrow holder across Kiseki's back and slipping the bow over her right shoulder.
"Now perfection has been reached! Better get ready for my first day at my new school, Kiseki. Wait, OK?"
Rain put Kiseki on the desk and went into the closet, coming out wearing a white and blue school uniform.
"Jeez... This uniform is so tight... I can't believe Ceci wore this when she went there..."
She slipped on her shoes and grabbed her new blue book bag, putting in a notebook and some pencils, not forgetting about Kiseki. Rain put Kiseki's lower half in the bag with her arms making sure she didn't fall completely in.
"Time... To go."
Rain looked down at Kiseki, blinking. She made a confused look, for a minute there, she thought Kiseki had spoken! She giggled to herself and walked out of the room with the bag, walking into the kitchen and seeing her Aunt Ceci putting pancakes on the table.
"You hungry?"
"Boy, am I!"
Rain sat and ate just two before getting up and putting her dirty food into the sink.
"It tasted great, Ceci! But I have to go now! Bye!"
She ran out the door, running off to where she hoped the school would be.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She ran towards the flower shop and looked around.
"OK... She said turn at the Flower Shop..."
Rain's eyes widened when she saw four different flower shops right next to each other.
"Huh?! Which one?!"
A small girl with short green hair and a white and red uniform that looked almost exactly like Rain's appeared. She looked at Rain's book bag and saw Kiseki, smiling.
"Is that your doll?"
"Huh? Oh, yes."
The little girl looked as if she were in Kindergarten, so of course she'd be interested in dolls. She took Kiseki from the bag and looked at her, smiling.
"She's really pretty... A Light Weight, right?"
"Yes, she is! How could you tell?"
"She's light weight, Silly!"
The two started laughing, but then a boy who looked Rain's age and was wearing a boy version of her uniform ran up to them. He looked angrily at the small girl.
"Bez! What were you thinking when you went off on your own like that?!"
"Hey, I thought I was the kid here... You're the one acting like a baby... I'm in Kindergarten and I know where it is! I can go alone if I want to!" the little girl yelled before looking to Rain and handing Kiseki back to her. "This is my brother, Thunder... And I'm Bezuna, but everyone calls me Bez."
"I'm sorry if my little sister caused you any trouble, Miss..."
Rain looked at Thunder, he had bright blonde hair and cold blue eyes. She managed to grin a little, then shook her head.
"It was no trouble, Thunder. I was just trying to find out where to find my new school..."
"Huh? You're wearing the uniform of my school... I'm guessing you're new here?"
"Yup, just moved here to live with my aunt." Rain answered, smiling.
"Heh, well I guess I can show you to the school if you're having trouble gettin' there... Go on, Bez, I'll help... Umm... What'd you say your name was?"
"I never said my name yet, but it's Rain." Rain answered with a giggle.
"Thunder and Rain always go together! Heehee! Bye!" Bez yelled as she ran off down the clear street.
Thunder and Rain then began to blush dark red.
"Umm... Please excuse Bez, Rain... Anyway, let's go."
They walked off around the corner of the fourth Flower Shop and went down the street.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
They got into the school building, going to the room that said '6-2' over it. Rain smiled sweetly at Thunder.
"I guess we'll be in the same class."
"I guess so... Classmate..." Thunder spoke softly, managing to smile back.
"Thunder-chan!! Hah Hah!! We're In The Same Class Again!!" a girl with long black hair yelled as she put her arm around Thunder's neck and began to choke him playfully. "Huh? Oh, you must be the new kid everybody's talkin' 'bout."
"Huh? Umm... Yeah... I'm Rain."
"And I'm Hatoko, nice to meet you!"
"Umm... Hatoko?"
"What?"
"I think you kill him..." Rain spoke, pointing to Thunder's limp body and blue face.
"HUH?!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After school, Thunder, Hatoko and Rain were walking down the street towards a three-way path.
"So, you like to sew? Mind sewin' us a new school uniform? 'Cause this one sucks..." Hatoko spoke, folding her arms as she walked.
"Heh... I'd like to, but you think the Principal would like that?" Rain asked, sweatdropping.
"With your designs, I'd say yeah! I mean, look at how cool you did Kiseki's outfit!"
"Umm... Thanks..." Rain spoke, blushing a little.
"Well, my house is to the left, I'll see you two tomorrow, Weather People!"
"What?!" Thunder and Rain asked Hatoko right away.
"Hah hah!! Come on! I mean, Thunder and Rain! Get it? When it rains, there's almost always thunder!" Hatoko explained before running off around the left corner.
"How many times will I hear that in one day..." Thunder mumbled to himself. "I'll see you tomorrow, Rain. Bye!"
Thunder ran off around the right corner, leaving Rain alone. Rain stood there before she heard an evil laughter from the sakura tree just above her. She looked up and saw Oujirou.
"Hey there, Rain. You ready to learn how to move the doll?"
"Sure!"
'Perfect...' Oujirou thought, jumping down and taking Rain's wrist.
He ran off like he was shot out of a cannon just like yesterday toward the same pink store. Once there, he went up upstairs and showed Rain all the layers with different scenery and battlefields.
"You go ahead and rent a Role Play Layer at the front desk over there, you need to learn how to move your doll first." Oujirou spoke.
"Umm... OK!" Rain said, running off to the desk. "Excuse me, I want to rent a Layer."
"All righty then, here's your ticket." The woman spoke, handing Rain a small ticket.
"Thank you!"
Rain ran off to Mr. Oujirou and smiled.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to ask if you had any money."
"Money? They gave it to me for free..."
"Wha?" Oujirou asked as the intercom went on.
"Will Rain Drop please go to Battle Layer number 1!"
Rain gasped and looked at the ground, walking off to the woman calling her.
"And what's your name?"
"Rain... Rain Drop, Ma`am..."
"And your doll?"
"Ki-Ki-Kiseki ..."
"Well, that's a very nice name..." the woman backed off and yelled. "Enter the Angels!"
Oujirou slipped the cute little head set onto Rain's head, turning it on. Rain laughed nervously.
"Pierce the light, Yami Yue!" the boy who was to be Rain's opponent yelled, throwing in his male doll.
The doll entered and did a flip, landing on one knee. Yami Yue wore a dark blue coat and bright blue pants and a shirt. His boots with also dark blue while his hair and eyes were icy blue.
"You have to throw Kiseki onto the layer, Rain!"
"Umm... OK..." Rain mumbled, then yelled. "Go Kiseki!"
Rain threw in Kiseki, but she just fell and was motionless. Rain gasped.
"Why...?"
"You have to concentrate, Rain. To make Kiseki move, you must concentrate!" Oujirou advised.
Rain nodded, looking straight at Kiseki on the ground of the Layer. She closed her eyes and tried as hard as she could.
'Please Kiseki... Will you please move for me...?' Rain thought.
Kiseki's emerald green eyes slowly sparkled open; slowly she would stand up. She turned and looked at Rain, a blank look on her face.
"She... Stood..." Rain whispered to herself.
Kiseki smiled, but then the host woman yelled, "Angelic Fight!" That was when Yami Yue began to move quickly. He tried to punch Kiseki, but she smoothly took a step out of the way.
"Whoa... What are you visualizing?" Oujirou asked, watching Kiseki's smooth movements.
"This reminds me so much of dancing... Back at home..." Rain answered softly, smiling sweetly as she watched and thought of Kiseki dodging the attacks by dancing.
"Grr... Will you stop moving?!" Yami Yue yelled in a cold voice, trying to throw another punch at her.
"No... You are simply too slow..." Kiseki cooed, bending backwards and putting her hands on the Layer.
She kicked upward, and without even knowing what she was doing, a sparkling, wind-like attack was released at how hard she kicked. Yami Yue was sent out of the Layer right away, and his Duce just stared in disbelief.
"I Lost To A Newbie?!" he yelled, throwing down the headset, grabbing Yami Yue and running out of the building.
Rain giggled to herself, seeing Kiseki turn and smile at her.
"We can win... I won't let you down..."
Rain nodded with a light blush, getting up and taking off the headset. Kiseki stopped moving immediately, but she was still smiling. Rain took Kiseki from the Layer and looked to Oujirou with a smile.
"I won, Mr. Occhan!"
"I can see that! Good work! Thinking of dancing worked! But... How did you use Rolling Thunder?"
"Huh? Rolling Thunder? What's that?" Rain asked with a confused look. "You mean that attack that sent Yami Yue out of the Layer? Well, I was just thinking of Gymnastics, too... Gymnastics and Dancing were my strong points back home."
"Whoa... Without evening knowing it... You attacked... Something tells me you will be very good at this... Go on home, we can practice again tomorrow after you get out of school. Good-day to you." Oujirou spoke, turning around and walking down the steps.
Rain smiled and walked to the stairs as well, slowly walking down. Two people had been watching in the crowd, Thunder and Bez.
"She's gonna wind up fighting you soon, Thunder..." Bez spoke, looking at her older brother with an almost evil grin.
"Perhaps... But Occhan's going to need to sign her into the Kanto Games for her to fight me..." Thunder replied, his eyes looking down to Bez. "Just be ready with Shippo, she'll have to fight you first."
Bez nodded, smiling before the two walked off.
