Darkness engulfed her body. It wrapped around her with a cool yet warm touch. It's bitter taste filled her mouth. Suddenly when the pitch was about to drag her into oblivion, a sharp distinct beam shone through it, shattering the sloe blackness. The string of light grew to an immense river of a shimmering green. A tall figure stood in the middle, holding a long sword. It whispered to her. It was a murmur that rolled of its tongue. She heard a distinct heartbeat and in the distance she found the source: a huge pillar of ice. Then the smell of poison came. A red, hot blade flew out of the dark towards her.
Rain then awoke screaming, sweat encasing her body.
Amariie slammed on the brakes. "JEEZ WOMAN! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?!" Turning her head to the side, she noticed Ryo jolted up in his seat also. Rain had given up the control of the steering wheel back at a Burger King and taken a lil snooze in the back seat. She waited a bit for Rain to make some derogatory remark, but it never came. "Uhhh Rainey, what's wrong? Nightmare or something?"
Ryo turned in his seat, also curious.
Rain, still in shock, looked up at the two. "I think it was another vision...sent to me."
Flambe' raised an eyebrow. "Vision?" he questioned.
"Oooh! Like the time you said I was gonna get asked to the prom by Sean!" Amariie's eyes turned glittery.
"Watch the road!" :screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech: Luckily, Ryo yelled in time for Amariie to avoid smashing into a tree.
:BIG sweatdrop: "Ooohs, my bad," Amariie gave a nervous laugh before shutting up and focusing on driving.
Ryo sighed with relief and turned back to Rain, urging her to go on.
"Well...I saw a green light...trapped in dark place with a pillar or something...." Rain mused almost inaudibly.
The three thought it over for a moment. "Green light in a...cave? Green light...." Ryo said to himself over and over again.
Amariie giggled, "Well maybe it means that green guy is stuck in a cave somewhere."
Rain scrunched up her nose, ""Ariie, what the hell are you talking about?"
"Well, you said green light, right? Well the guy with the flippy hair is green, and isn't he Halo? Halo mean light dumbass..." Amariie sniffed.
Ryo's eyes widened, "She's right! Yes! Lets find that cave!"
Rain was shocked, "Whoa!"
"What's wrong? Amazed at my superior intelligence?" 'Ariie giggled, batting her lengthy lashes.
"No," Rain snickered, "I'm just surprised that you use your head for something other than using to hold your hair up in those stupid pigtails you always wear..."
Amariie glared at her thought the rear-view mirror, "Just for that, tomorrow I'm putting my hair in pigtails..."
"Girls!" Ryo called impatiently, ceasing there bickering, "Shall we find this cave??"
"Uhh sure... pass me the map.." Rain murmured.
Ryo tossed her the crumpled up map they had found in the glove compartment. Rain caught it just before it wapped her in the head. She glared at the back of his head and then looked at the map, revealing...
Revealing...revealing...
"Dammit!!! Open!!! Could you learn to fold a map!??!"
Ryo grinned sheepishly. "Heh.."
Amariie threw in a derisive noise as she reached her arm back and snatched the map. "Here, let me read it. Knowing you, Rain, you'd direct us to Bermuda. Not that it'd be a bad thing...Ok, we are here and this red thingy is the highway and..." As Amariie drifted her finger across the paper, she failed to see a drop off she was heading towards on the other side of the road. Ryo gripped the seat belt for mock protection and right before they went over into the nice thousand-foot drop, the car swerved to the other lane.
"Ok so this blue thingy here is the lake, which is over there," she pointed to the place they had swerved towards. "And the green stuff are trees which are over there," she said while pointing to the right, causing the car to go that way.
Rain jumped forwards between the two front seats. "EYES FRONT BAKA!!" she screamed. Amariie looked up over the map. "Oh...hehehe, sorry. My bad."
Rain grabbed the map from Amariie's hand. "No more map for you," she said lowly, and then began scanning the large map. 'Ok so we're here,' she thought. 'Gotta find a large underground cave.' Her finger landed on some small kanji. Remembering that she couldn't read Japanese for anything, she shoved the map in front of Ryo's nose, her finger under the caption. "Read that," she said.
Ryo took the map and read, "'Susoki National Park...systems of underground caves with stalagmites reaching nearly 50 meters in certain caverns.' Sounds good. Alright, 'Ariie, make a left here. We're on our way!" Ryo ended singing and dancing in the front seat.
"Ryo, you're so gay," said Rain from the back, receiving a toothy grin from Ryo.
Amariie repositioned her hands on the steering wheel. "Ok so I make a what?"
"Left," said Ryo, looking out the window.
"Left," Amariie repeated.
"Right," replied Ryo, meaning it as a "Yes, correct, you get a cookie."
"Right," Blondie said while turning right.
"LEFT!" Ryo shouted.
"MAKE UP YOUR FREAKING MIND!" Amariie yelled back.
Rain sighed and leaned back in her seat, not bothering to do anything, yet cracked a smile when she heard Ryo screech a "You're other left!" at the ditz with the wheel.
