Yu Yu Hakusho: Wake Me Up Inside

By darkinuyami

A/N: I don't own the show. I only own Rayne. Also, I would like to point out that Rayne's relationships with Genkai, Yusuke, and Kuwabara are very close, which is why she thinks of them as her mother and brothers.

Chapter 2: The story that caused it all…

I ran to my room, tears streaming down my face. How dare he return after so long, as if everything could be forgotten! It's because of him that I am this way, alone and broken. I turned on my cd player, music filling the room. I threw myself onto my bed, thinking of the time where my life was changed forever...

In the past, sixteen years ago.

Yoko Kurama had left with Kuronue on another mission. He had left me in charge. Yoko promised me that he would come back. I watched them as they left, praying that nothing will happen to them. Little did I know that they would never come back; they weren't there to prevent what happened to me…

"Lady Rayne."

I looked to see one of our companions, Mitsukake,running. "Yes, what is it?"

He looked at me with no expression. "News has arrived about the master. He and Kuronue didn't make it."

My eyes widened. "You're lying! He promised that he would return!"

He kneeled before me. "I am sorry, but it's true. One of the others saw it happen." I screamed and started to cry…

We held a service for Yoko and Kuronue, which they truly deserved, as the best of the best. I placed some flowers into the water in the moonlight, watching as they drifted away. Kurama and Kuronue are gone. What are we going to do?

I turned to glance at the others, all men. They looked at me strangely. What's going on? "Why are you looking at me like that?"

One of them, Mitsukake, grabbed me. "Since the masters are gone, you have no one to protect you," he said with a smirk.

I struggled to break free. "What do you think you're doing?" I cried. The others stalked close to me, until I was surrounded.

"We are going to finally get what we want, Rayne. You're going to give it to us."

I continued to resist, but it was no use, since they were all stronger than I was. I screamed as they got what they wanted…

…I awoke, torn and bleeding. I looked to see that the others had left, after having their fun with me. They left me to die… I gazed into the river, seeing how soiled I was. How could this have happened to me? I screamed in agony. Those monsters will pay for what they did to me…especially the master, for not training me more; for not protecting me like he said he would.

"I will become stronger, and I will have my revenge…"

Years later

"You bitch! Why are you doing this?" He coughed up blood as I hit him again and again. I looked around, the bodies of the ones who had broken me all over the ground; I had killed them, watched as their blood fell to the ground washed out by the rain, and I enjoyed it. The rain pouring down was refreshing as I killed each and every one of them.

"You had your way with me years ago, I just thought that I should return the favor," I said, devoid of any emotion. I had trained hard to prepare for the day I would have my revenge. I became a monster, emotionless and strong.

"Rayne! Don't do this!" I grabbed my sword, and I put it through his heart. "You sick bastard! Die!"

I had done it. I had killed the ones who had betrayed me. But there is one that still lives: my master, Yoko Kurama. I know that he is out there, somewhere in this world, and I will find him…

Back to the present

I remember everything and it still hurts to think about it. I can still remember all of those hands on me, destroying me. I will never let anyone see how much it hurts. I am different now, because of what I have been through. No one will see the true me, not even Kurama.
