Trapped Assassin

Intro: This happens to be dedicated to three people in my class. I have three new characters made of other people, and one for me (just because I wouldn't be able to have another character people), one of which is a new main character, based on a classmate's character of mine. I'm so sorry that I took forever to write this chapter, but the good news is I wrote alot, plus got some new stories, if you want to read them.

Disclaimer: I don't own this show, or any people I base characters on. Although these characters are my property.

Chapter 7: We All Run Away

We walked on the wet sidewalk as mist beat upon our cheeks. The rain fell hard onto the ground, and I was getting sick of it.

"TAXI!", I screamed frustrated as a yellow car stopped dead in it's tracks.

"Hop in", an Indian accent called out. We ran to it, practically ripped off the door, and sat there, dripping and relieved.

"Thanks man", Raine smiled, sighing happily. "What's your name?"

"Thyler Jones", he replied, his warm, dark, almost black, chocolate eyes stared back at us. It seems as though he was caught in the rain too, because his black hair was wet, and his clothes, which was an open faded yellow long sleeve polo shirt, revealing a faded tan shirt, and dark blue jeans. Man this dude was tall, and he seems like three years older than me. Practically seven feet, more so even. "So, where are you guys going?"

"Airport", I revealed.

"Okay, no problem, my little brother's a pilot. He flies the plane to Moscow." He was ripping down the flooded streets.

"Cool. So, how come you're a taxi driver, and your younger brother's a pilot?"

"I'm actually an entrepeneur, but this is my part time job."

"I see." Well, Raine's asleep.

"I'm also Superman."

"Sure you are, and I'm the queen of Spain", I replied, my words dripping in sarcasism.

"I am", he said, like he thinks he can force me to believe him. "And you're the queen of Spain?", he asked in fake curiosity.

"No, unfortunately I'm not. Okay, whatever you say. You're right; I had no right to say otherwise." Complete and total lie. I AM 100 RIGHT, and I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO STATE MY VIEWS, and MY OPINIONS.

"Damn straight I'm right."

"So, like dude, what do you-" The taxi stopped, him nearly hitting his head into the wind shield, Raine, still resting soundlessly like a rock, landing onto the floor of the car, and I almost slammed myself into the driver seat in front of me.

"We're here."

"How lovely", I said in a British accent. "That was fast." We both came out, since we stopped right in front of the front foyer of the airport. Finally, it's stopped raining.

"Yes it was, now let's go. My cousin is a pilot too, with my brother, which means, as usual, he's being a hard ass to her. Again", he sighed. "Like cha", he said in a fake girlish, annoyed tone, which made me laugh a bit.

"Okay, so you're gonna rescue her?"

"Yup." I was poking Raine in the face, trying to wake her up, but no avail.

"What about Raine?" He opened one of the taxi doors, and carried Knight out, bridal style.

"Let's go, before Anelisan annoys Steaffan to death again."

"Anelisan is your cousin correct?", I asked as we walked up to the counter and picked up our tickets.

"Yea, her name is really Annelise, but she forces everyone to call her Anelisan. For some reason."

"Terminal 23 leaving for Moscow, Russia", a voice called out in the PA system. Raine snapped awake, and looking up to see Thyler, must have pissed her off.
"MOLESTER!", she screamed, trying to kick him in the face. "AZURA! WHERE ARE YOU DUDE!"

"Over here", I replied calmly, calling from where her head rested; his left.

"WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP!" She was going psycho, her arms and legs flailing frantically.

"I tried to poke you awake like fifty times. In the face. No avail."

"Oh." She sucessfully kicked him in the face, hard, proven by the soon fading, red mark. That made him drop her.

"Yo chill", he commanded.

"Why don't you make me?"

"I don't want to beat the crap out of you.", he said calmly.

"Oh, I don't think you'll have to worry about that", Raine replied coolly and slyly. Damn it, stop challenging this dude. Is it that hard? Just go on with life.

"Come on, let's be reasonable here."

"That's not really my style."

"I see. I guess I could use the practice."

"Bring it on bitch."

SLAM. Right in the nose. I have to admit, that was a nice punch. Blood was oozing out of his face, especially his nose. She readied herself once more, and charged. She used her claws, her fists, ninja stars hidden in her pockets, her sword, her feet, knees, and elbows. Ouch, that must have hurt. He won't be waking up anytime soon.

"Let's go", Raine chirped. A lot of people didn't notice and stepped on him, but he jumped back up, and walked away. I guess he dealt with enough bullshit from us. We just ambled to our terminal, walking away from the memory of commotion brought on by Raine over beside me. Through the tunnel, to our usual first class seats, and we sat beside this dude, like our age, nah, he was twenty. He had flaming red hair, and when he turned towards us to let us sit, because he was sitting in the aisle, but moved, we spotted deep blue eyes, the sunlight making them glint. He dressed in a red and white, with baggy black pants, behind him was a thick jacket, and he had to be about four feet six inches. He looked at us weirdly, seeing as though we not only had a bag of luggage for each of us, but no jackets.

"Hey", he said, sitting down.

"Hiwo", I said, while Raine just stared at him. "Tell us about yourself."

"Let's see, name's Jordan Usher, and I'm Canadian. I come from a rich and respectable family. My favourite colours are white and red. I'm a trusting person, I'll tell you one of my biggest secrets. I'm in big debt now. I gambled half of my enheritance, and the other half I need to live on, so I'm screwed over. Now the Canadian and U.S. government is hunting me down."

"Interesting."

"Now, your turns."

"Ah, nothing special. I'm Azura, a Russian, she's Raine, Chinese, we both live in Japan, and we're just going around the world." That explained why I don't have a coat, and as for Raine, well, she's demonic, take it from there.

"Cool. So, let's think of something to talk about."

"..." Hmm. "What do you think of the suicidal rate in the world?"

"Why should I give a damn? I only look out for myself thanks."

"You just don't know how lucky you are. Some persons can't realize that there people in this world who have it worse off. Sometimes you can't even tell for the depressed and suicidal. You don't know how cruel the balance is, or how harsh reality can be", Raine said, her eyes blank, and unreadable.

"True", I responded. "No one can deny that."

"Yes, but I will always stay optimistic. I'm a gambler for life. I'll never stop hoping and I'll never stop trying."

As we moved deeper and deeper into our conversation on the world, more specificly, Raine and Jordan arguing, bursting through the door leading to the plane controls, came a girl with midnight hair and crimson streaks in a ball and some hair fell from over it, her bangs straightened and spiked, mostly covering her large, deep violet eyes, who was running and jumping around. She was wearing black cargo pants, a black t-shirt, one sleeve longer than the other and it was torn, a cross pendant with blue and white diamonds, a gold 10k ruby ring I think, on her right, and red and black nike shoes. Her height is four feet nine inches.

"Hi everyone, I'm Anelisan Taylor, and I will be you co pilot, your torture, your aggravation, your enemy and your best friend this fine evening!", she exclaimed to let everyone quiet down and hear. So this is the infamous Annelise, I mean, Anelisan. She hopped into the middle of the aisle, and started to sing Festival Song, swinging her hips and throwing her arms in the air, showing the metal sign, in the air, and dancing around everywhere.

I don't care about a thing today
I used to but I'm fed up
And I can hear the words you say
I wish that you would shut up
I've got responsibility
That is my liability, a menace to society
At least that's what they say to me

But tonight, tonight, it's on tonight
I don't want your boring life,
And I don't want your 9 to 5,
Or anyone to tell me how to live my life

"ANELISAN!", a male voice cried. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!"

"Dancing, singing, playing, not being a boring plain person, like somebody. And I don't ever wanna be like you, I don't wanna do the things you do, and I don't wanna hear the words you say, cuz I don't ever wanna, I don't ever wanna be... You! Don't wanna be just like you, what I'm saying is, this is anthem, throw all your hands up, you, don't wanna be you!", she replied and sang. She changed the song, going onto Crazy in Love.

I look and stare so deep in your eyes
I touch on you more and more every time
When you leave I'm beggin you not to go
Call your name two, three times in a row
Such a funny thing for me to try to explain
How I'm feeling and my pride is the one to blame
Yeah, cause I know I don't understand
Just how your love can do what no one else can

Got me lookin so crazy right now
Your love's got me lookin so crazy right now
(your love)
Got me lookin so crazy right now your touch's
Got me lookin so crazy right now
(your touch)
Got me hoping you page me right now your kiss's
Got me hoping you save me right now
Lookin so crazy your love's got me lookin
Got me lookin so crazy your love

This one was 6 feet 4 inches I think, the same eyes and hair as Thyler, and wore a usual pilot uniform, but a red and black nike baseball cap. He turned towards us as we were admiring this girl's style.

"I'm Steaffan Jones, and I am extremely sorry-" Steaffan Jones eh? I guess Anelisan is too loud for him. "I AM EXTREMELY SORRY ABOUT HER BEHAV-" She snatch his hat, turned it inside out, and place it on her head, revealing Steaffan having spiked hair. Surprise surprise. "-IOUR. AND DON'T MIND HER CUZ SHE'S RETARDED. SHE DOES THIS ALOT, BUT NEVER THIS LOUD. ANELISAN, GIVE ME BACK MY HAT!"

"No", she pouted. "I'm showing you how to wear it." She was smiling proudly, happily, and enthuseasticly.

"That's how you wear a hat!", he questioned, annoyed half to death.

"Absofreakinlutly STEAF-FAN."

"Come on, please?"

"No."

"Please, with chocolate and strawberries on top!", he half yelled in annoyance. Man, he gets annoyed easily, eh?

"I hate you", she replied as she handed the cap back in a mix of annoyance, amusment, anger, unhappiness, and just plain stupidity.

"I hate you too cous." Aww, how sweet of them to say. She tried to place her forearm on his shoulder, but it hadn't occured to her that she was shorter.

"I HATE BEING THE SHORTEST!"

"Live with it."

"I don't want to."

"Well, you have for a long time now, you know?"

"Well, yeah, why?"

"OMG, NOT THAT AGAIN!"

"Geez, I only ask that four times, (cough) everyday (cough)."

"EVERYDAY ANNELISE!"

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!"

"I'm sorry", he said in fake childish sarcasism.

"HOW DARE YOU CALL ME THAT IN FRONT OF OUR PASSAGERS!"

"AN-NEL-ISE!"

"DIE!", and she tackled him to the ground. Stupid people, cheering on violence like that. All of a sudden, it came to me.

"HEY STUPID PEOPLE!", I started, so that would all shut up. By then Anelisan and Steaffan stood up, and he decided to disappear. "Who's flying the plane?"

"O.M.G!"

"WE'REALLGONNADIE!"

"INEVEREVENGOTLAIDBEFORE!" Jackass.

"OHWHYISLIFESOCRUEL!WHYMUSTIENDMYLIFEHERE!"

"SHUT UP DAMMIT!", they all stopped and turned to see infuriated violent violet eyes. "Okay, since Steaffan has such perfect timing, and has walked into the washroom five seconds before this was discovered, everyone fucking calm down, sit in their fucking seats, shut the fuck up, and let me pilot the fucking plane back on fucking course." She waltzes inside the cockpit, spinned three times, and was about to sit when... "WHAT THE FUCK! Who the bloody hell are you!"

"Jordan Usher, and I was checking if I could fly a plane since no one else was."

"Well, you're not allowed to without a pilot license, so get out of my bloody chair before I bloody kick you out of the bloody plane. RIGHT NOW." Raine and I walked in, hoping that Anelisan wouldn't have killed him by now. "Hiwo you two", I said politely.

"Hi, I'm Anelisan, and the king of jackasses, Jordan, is the person beside me."

"Hey", he said, offended.

"Shut the fuck up already."

"I'm Raine, and my friend here is Azura. That jackass over there isn't all that bad. Just stupid. Jordan, c'mon, let her land the bloody plane."

"Fine", and we all walk out. Steaffan was walking down the aisle, and I stopped him for a moment.

I said, "You know, you have brilliant timing eh."

His reply: "Thanks, I'm not sure to if I should take that as a compliment or an insult, but thanks", and he walked away, and into the cockpit. Anelisan noticed him most immediately.

"You know Steaffan, we almost crashed."

"I know, I heard the screaming."

"You fly this bloody plane, I'm going to sleep."

"Why? You wasted too much energy already?"

"Nah, I'm just bored."

"And lazy."

"Yeah, that too. Wake me up either when we get there or when the sun is starting to set."

----

"So Jordan, wanna stay with us while you're in Russia?", I asked, the plane landing.

"Sure." Out of the airport, and onto the streets of Moscow, I could already tell that Raine's mind was bursting with memories, as was mine. Walking until we reached the outskirts of the city (far walk eh?) , and we saw it. Raine looked mad at first when she laid her eyes on it, but the expression changed into a smirk, along with my own. Jordan just stared at it, impressed by the towering red brick building.

"Hasn't changed, has it?"

"Not at all Azura."

"So this is the infamous Abbey?", Jordan asked, not really needing our answer. All three of us just stared at it, but I noticed Raine zoned out.

Raine's Flashback

"But I didn't do it", Raine mumbled shyly, as usual, to her aunt as the older woman cornered Raine in the thirteen year old's room. But then she thought of her mother, and how she revolted being bossed around, or even worse, well in Raine's mother's case anyway, being unheard. She looked into the navy, heartless eyes of her, being able to on account of growing alot in the past four years, and smirked.

"What did you say?", the woman said sternly. Her bleached hair was twisted into in an incredibly tight bun, and dressed in her deep purple suit, tapped her foot impatiently.

"I said I didn't do it", she replied defiantly. "Why is it so hard to believe Aunt Tayume? I've never done anything wrong, not that it matters to you. You still blame me for everything."

"You're absolutely correct, for once. I do blame you for everything, but it's because-"

"Everything is my fault."

"Good, at least you have finally learned something."

"But you don't seem to realize, that I know a lot more than you", she muttered to herself, smirking once more. She, as well as her own mother, was ashamed that Tayume was her aunt; the blonde had gone to her head before she even dyed it. What do you know, strict and stupid, not a wise combination huh?

"SHUT THE FUCK UP RAINE! You have no fucking right to tell me if you did something or not. If I think you did something, then you must have."

'Oh yeah, cuz you know everything, Queen Airhead', she thought sarcasticly. 'At least you can never take my sword away.'

"Now turn around." She knew this was coming, and closed her eyes. Raine knew that Tayume would take out the whip, and lash at her body at usually fifty times. Knight, being demonic, was never marked by them permanently, because Raine would train hard at night when Queen Airhead would asleep, although her aunt wouldn't have stand a chance if she were to be whipped; would have complained in five seconds. Also, her aunt's power was draining, Raine being able to feel that everyday Queen Airhead's neko senses were weaking, a cause of a lack of training, and soon enough will one day flicker off, like a candle. For now, she'll take the hits, the insults, the abuse, and bottle up her hatred until that final happy day, where her aunt can't stop her from walking out the Abbey doors. Luckily for her, she only had to endure one miserable year from her grandfather's death, her own hated birthday, and she would be finally escape. But since then, her life was worse than she could possibly imagine. Horrifying memories she willing tried to erase, and refuse to ever speak of. She took her hits in quiet dignity.

"Now go clean house! I want it spotless!", and with those spat on words, the young demon walked out, starting the rest of her daily routine.

'If father saw me cleaning like this, he would murder Tayume for sure.' That why she deeply missed her parents; they would stand up for her, unlike some. Her father didn't say much; didn't have to either. And neither daughter nor wife of his had a single worry of him either. He was what many would call the "tall, dark, and mysterious" as well as the "strong and silent" type. Many human girls looked at him with dreamy smiles, Raine knew that as a fact. Yet her mother would never get jealous, but why? Because not only did her father Sesshomaru found how those women stared at him reposive, giving them all death glares, and superior smirks that brought them quickly crashing down. It was also probably because she was so beautiful, more so than any other. Raine's two parents met on their journies around land; they had gotten into a battle, and afterwards, they just stop out of nowhere, sat down and discussed and complimented each others tactics. Actually it was more her mother doing so, seeing as though, well, it's easy to notice from the type he was, that he didn't like to talk. But Akako had sensed his liking for her; she could tell that he would have pushed her away if otherwise. Raine smiled happily, but it simply turned back into a frown remember she had to clean the compartment in the bloody Abbey. The neko jin youkai also remembered her Aunt Tayume's main reason for despising her. Tayume although promising to love and care for the girl in respects for her father, had decided otherwise seeing it was the precious daughter of her younger sister; Tayume was the middle child. The reason why she hated her sister so was not only for the entire family's reason for despising them, but it was because she was jealous. She, it turns out has met of Sesshomaru before, and he had forced her to leave his sights, and to stay away from him. And yet she fell in love with him. When her baby sister turned up with him, theirs arms linked, she became incredibly enfuriated. Alas, Akako thought her older sister would be happy for her, and as for Knight, he forgot entirely of the bleached hair neko, who paled in comparison to his lovely, and at that moment, new wife. Tayume stomped off, muttering that someday revenge will be hers, and it will be sweeter than honey. But how would Raine know? Lord Waoru, her pitying grandfather, told her while she still lived comfortably with him. And to add onto that, his will commanded that she was his competent heir, and would have ownership of everything of the Setsuko Clan by the age of twenty four.

"One day Tayume, one day I won't have to deal with you, and your pathetic attempts for revenge", she muttered, finishing off what was left to clean. "One day I'll be free."

----

And soon enough, the day had arrived. She woke up one morning, and realised...

"Tayume's powers are dead. Just like her diminished brain. I hope when I leave my misery. That on her head acid will rain!", she sang happily as she walked down to the screaming annoying voice that belonged to the bitchy Tayume.

"Yes?", she asked, just saving up her insults, pretending all the while she was talking to her aunt. She couldn't resist it for much longer.

"You did something wrong yesterday, didn't you?"

"No Queen Airhead, I did not."

"What did you call me?"

"I. Called. You. Queen Airhead. Why, do you have a problem with that?"

"You know what's coming to you; turn around."

"I don't think so", she smirked defiantly.

"Oh really? And what makes you think that?"

"I know Tayume. I know you haven't been training to keep up your powers. Simply lazy since you sent all your work to me." She took the sword out of the sheath she tied to her back. Its' blade shining, and Raine smirked proudly, taking in glances of her sword, then fully staring at her now cowering aunt.

"The Blade. The Blade-"

"Correct Tayume; the Blade of Chaos. A lovely Knight heirloom, is it not? Why do you looked so surprised? You thought Grandfather only told you? I am his only competent heir. He would favour me, also since my mother was always better than you."

"Shut up!", she quivered.

"Do you think you're in the right position to back talk me? Weak and powerless." Tayume looked at her in utter fear. And she smiled. "Bitchy Witch, you know what? The powers and strength of our clan is no longer with you. You are now simply a human, of simple mind and mortal blood. You no longer belong to the Waoru Clan." She pointed her sword so close to Tayume's throat that it almost cut. "And I'm leaving."

"You can't leave. Your parents and my father entrusted me with you until you were emmancipated, and you don't have the form to say so. I didn't sign anything."

"If you would take care of me, and love me like your own", she muttered with pure hatred in her eyes, shocking the same sheer hatred into those soulless, stern navy orbs, them now cowering in desperation and unsullied horror. "Oh I think not", Raine told Tayume as she smirked in superiority. Out of Raine's pocket, she revealed a note. An emmancipation form. "You remember the last time you sent me out to do errands? Well, while I was at a few places, I asked for this." She waved the paper in her face, sword still too close to her aunt's neck just in case the new mortal tried anything. "And while you were signing checks, I slipped this right under your pen, and well, unfortunately for you, you aren't my legal gaurdian anymore." Tayume looked incredibly shocked. "You have no power over me, gaurdian or strength, not that that mattered." She smirked.

"But you won't survive out there", the woman stuttered.

"Oh, I won't will I? Well, let me tell you something. The money you took from me when I first got here; it's back into my hands. And I'm going back home." She was refering to her mother's apartment in Beijing.

"You stole from me!"

"No, actually, I took back everything that was mine." She walked over to the door, and opened it to find towering snow piles, although it didn't matter much seeing as though she hardly felt it, unlike her aunt; she was shivering violently. "You are no longer my aunt Tayume, and you don't share the same blood as me. Stop trying to contact my father because he despises you. And as for my mother, she knows that today you lost your powers, and your blood thinned to that of a mortal. She knows that because she knew you were treating me like this. You are an insult to my mother's blood, and now it doesn't even flow in your veins. And we both know that they will both come after you for this. Good day to you, and may all your nightmares come true." And with her final words to Tayume, and a smirk, she left that place to find another.

End of flashback

"When my grandfather died, my mother told me that I had enherited everything. She told me that I had to go live with my aunt when I was thirteen. We hated each other, but it's not as if I had a choice. Until one day", she smiled. I wasn't paying much attention, although I knew what she said. My thoughts were travelling on something else as I stared at the building. I have my own little memories of the Abbey you know.

Azura's Flashback

"Isn't this lovely guys? Our parents got so sick of us that they sent us to Satan and his boyfriend", a close to fourteen year old me told the fourteen versions of Kai and Tala.

"Hmm", was Kai's response. "Nah Voltaire isn't Satan, Azura, he's just a pathetic imatator."

"And Boris? He's just Voltaire's pet rat. Genetically enhanced so he can run Biovolt", Tala said.

"Good points. Sent to learn, to advance our studies, hmpf. We can't learn jack in that place." I pointed to the Abbey. "And our damned parents sent us here, well, me and Tala anyway, poor Kai-"

"Hmpf. I ain't poor."

"You know what I mean, no? Poor Kai, his suckubus grandfather's his only relative, probably one of Voltaire schemes to steal your money. How sad. Voltaire probably killed your real grandfather, huh?"

"Hm."

"Oh well, one day, Kai, one day, he'll die, and his beloved, Boris, would probably want to die with him, and we can all dance on their graves." The three of us broke into smiles, except Kai, he decided to go with the bad boy look a.k.a. the smirk.

"Okay, let's just get into this damn hellhole", Tala commanded, Kai deciding to lead the way.

----

I woke in an instant at 5:00 am on the fresh, cold September the fourth morning, and raced through the hollow, cold halls of the Abbey, as happy and hyper as the time Tala dared me to eat half a pound of milk chocolate, and half of candy, which I unfortunately was able to accomplish. I ran into their quarters, and jumped on Tala's bed, just after I begged Kai to keep quiet, seeing as though he had his own way of waking him up. It involved a blowhorn, a microphone, speakers, and a recorded owl screech. I think you can take it from there. I slowly went to the foot of the bed, stood up, and started to jump, and yet, with me jumping around like a jackhammer, he refuses to wake. I looked at Kai, and he smirked.

"I told you", he said, that smirk still on his face. Kai acts the way he does in the rest of the story because, well, I wasn't there to stop Tala from quietly infecting his mind, and telling he had hormones, which Kai, as well as I, know, he, as well as myself, does not have. But behind that smirk, and into his eyes, he was smiling like when he was a little boy. Ah, the good old days, but wait a sec, isn't this the flashback?

"I know, but what if he goes deaf?"

"You don't usual think of the consequences."

"Well, he won't be able to take advice, or hear me yell at him again."

"Fine, no owl screech." He held the blowhorn not too far from Tala's ear, but not too close either, and threw the microphone to me, which I caught, although almost dropped.

"Happy Birthday Tala!", I screamed into the microphone, him jumping awake.

"Ow! It's not my birthday Blue."

"Just cuz my name means blue, doesn't mean it's my name."

"Fine", he pouted. "Blue. Anyway, who's birthday is it today?", the redhead asked innocently.

"Tala, you're the biggest fag I ever met", I heard Kai mutter under his breath, and I snickered. "Happy birthday Azura", he said as he handed over a large, long, skinny, rectangluar box, covered with shiny crimson wrapping paper, and tied up with a midnight ribbon and bow.

"You're going to need this in the future. I think you'll like it. It's your style", he told me.

"Hm. Thanks Kai. Tala I can't believe you forgot my birthday. You're so hurtful!"

"I didn't forget!" He dived under his bed, and pulled out a gold, and silver box. "Look, see, I got you a present too. And, like Kai's, you'll be using this, and hopefully not on me."

"Cool. Thanks." I tore Kai's box open first, and inside it was a brilliant silver sword. I sliced the air smoothly with it, then slid it back gracefully into its sheath. I ripped open Tala's box, and there laid two, also silver, daggers, which I picked up, spun by my sides, cut in front of my face, and then placed them into their sheaths that slung on my side like the first.

"Aww, you guys remembered!", I cried as I hugged them both. They had remember I wanted to become an assassin, and they knew I could do it. Now I have the equipment. "So, like now, what do you have planned for me today?" Kai was in his badboy stance, but he couldn't help, but get out of it, and smile.

"It involoves cherry bombs, washrooms, fireworks, destroying something big, and our favourite victims", Tala said, an evil grin on his face.

"This is going to be good, isn't it?" Tala just nodded, grin still on face. Kai pulled out of the closet near by a huge, burlap sack, quite heavy, although Kai made it look light, that happened to be overflowing with cherry bombs and every type of fireworks I ever dreamt of and more.

"sniffle You guys really love me don't you?"Kai and Tala just stared at me, staining the moment with a long silence. cough

cough

"Hmpf."

"Do we have to answer that?", Tala asked finally.

"Nope. C'mon, I thought we were about to blow something up." Tala smiled childishly.

"Now, now Azura, let's be patient. You want everyone else besides Voltaire and Boris to get hurt?"

"No Tali. Okay, let's clear the place before Captain Senile and his pet rat find out." And so it was done. We woke everyone, and told them to wait outside. Questioning us, I told them it's for my birthday, Tala told them that we might not have a roof over our heads anymore, and Kai said, well, nothing. We ran back inside at six o'clock, and Tala poured a third of the weapons of firey destruction into another sack, and another third into another, tossing them over to me and Kai.

"Let me guess, cherry bombs in the toilets?", I thought aloud.

"Yup, but also in the sink, and any crevices, but not in the rooms, cuz at least people's stuff can be in tact."

"I'm surprised Tala; you actually know big words."

"And I'm surprised you actually talked Kai."

"Okay everyone shut up. We need codenames."

"Azura's blue, Tala red", Kai commanded.

"Phoenix", I said, patting him on the back.

"Okay, Blue, you get centre cuz it's your birthday. Phoenix, left, I get right, and Boris and Voltaire's rooms, we meet at the entrance for Phase Two."

"Clear!", and the three of us bulleted in each direction. I think in every toilet I passed I filled with at least ten cherry bombs, same with the corners, man they didn't cheap out. I think I dropped four types of fire crackers every two steps. Now I wonder how we're going to light them all without getting blown up. Then I bulleted to the entrance, Kai leaning against the doors, smirking, and Tala racing down the hall five seconds after myself.

"Okay, Red, Phoenix, how the hell are we going light them all?"

"Blue, Blue, Blue, have we taught you nothing?"

"You haven't; Kai, how would I know, he doesn't say anything, not counting when we philosiphize."

"Not even how Bugs Bunny lit that dude, that was miles away, on fire."

"Oh yeah! Gunpowder! You got any?"

"Three sacks."He threw a bag to me and Kai.

"Three, two, one", I muttered. "Run!"After we ran off to the furthest places of bombs, we connected the many trails of gunpowder to one main path for each, and then to one big path of ready gunfire. We led it outside, and dropped the rest of it, with the sacks, at the steps.

"I suggest you guys run a bit further!", Except Voltaire and Boris, who still slept soundly in their bed, a firecrackr in it and Boris's other bed, four surrounding them on each side, and ten on the floor, as Tala told me he has done, I called out to the other residents of this hellhole with evil smirk, along with Kai and Tala. "I love you guys." cough

"Okay Blue", Tala said, lighting a match while Kai was smirking at us, and hid a firecracker under the gunpowder. "Prepare to see how much Kai and I love you cough Don't think like that; I meant as friends."

"And what did you think I thought?"

"Never mind", Kai muttered as Tala passed the match to me.

"Ready, set, fire!", I hollered as we ran from the running flame. It was seven am. We didn't go too far before we turned around, and the Abbey exploded, and fireworks blew sky high.

"It's beautiful; you guys really do love me."

"Okay, you know what?", Tala said, not taking his eyes off the sight. "The rule is no more saying you love us."

"Nah, leave her alone", Kai said, his eyes fixated on the scene.

"Fine", Tala pouted."

"But I do love you guys." Oddly enough, Kai was the next to speak. Okay, sort of weird, and sort of scary, but hell, he was due to say something, wasn't he?

"We love you too."

End of Flashback

"You think your aunt'll let us in."

"Not a chance, and she's no longer my aunt, so call her whatever you wish, her name's Tayume."

"Okay, let's just waste some time, and piss her off."

"Sounds fun", Jordan retorted reluctantly. We sauntered towards the door, and I rapped on the door. A stern looking bleach blond woman, with the most soulless, hollow navy eyes, opened the door, saw Raine, and tried to slam the door in our faces. Fortunately, Raine sensed this, and before the door closed half way, she pulled out her sword, and stabbed the point into the door, stopping the lady from closing it, who started to quiver violently. Raine was singing something quite interesting. Here are the lyrics that she seemed to enjoy, and repeated happily: Tayume's powers are dead. Just like her diminished brain. I hope when I left my misery. That on her head acid had rain.

"Hi Tayume", Raine smiled as she put her foot through the door, and pulled her sword away from it, revealing a new gap right in the centre. "Guys, this is my former aunt Tayume."

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh, I'm just checking to see if 'all your nightmares' have come true yet."

"Hiwo", I said quietly. I nudged Raine. "Is she that evil to deserve that treatment?"

"I'm going easy on her."

"Well, just to let you know Raine", the stern, but now worn, annoyed, yet smirking woman started. "You parents haven't come after me yet. And as for my nightmares, simply put, they haven't come true yet."

"My parents don't have to waste their time on you. And I guess, like my parents, I'll be gracious, and merciful, but it doesn't mean my friends have to." She turned to us. "I suggest you get all the people that don't work here, and do whatever you wish."

"No you can't!"

"Shut up Tayume, you want to act like a bitch to people, I'll give them a chance", she spat. Jordan and I ran in, and a few moments later, we had brought the last of that lot to the front.

"Say whatever you want to her, and if you have enough strength, hurt her", I told them.

"Are you mad?", one girl, with a thick Russian accent, in the group of children asked in fear. "She has powerful neko jin powers, and besides she has a whip."

"Little girl?", Raine adressed politely. "You know where it is, correct?" She nodded. "Get it please." She ran off, and in less than thirty seconds, she had returned, whip in hand, and gave it to Raine, who broke in pieces.

"Well, that sort of helps, but she can still use her neko powers on us." This little girl seems to be the only one brave enough to speak.

"Well, to tell you the truth, Tayume is just a big fat liar. How do I know? I'm her neice, I used to live with her, and being the lazy witch that she is, I am now her former neice; we no longer share the same blood. How is that possible, and why don't I still live with her? I ran away the day she lost our kind's blood, and with it, our bond, and her strength. I'm a neko jin, but also a youkai. That's right, she's now only a mortal."

"So that means... she can't hurt us?"

"No she can't, cuz she doesn't have any neko powers."

"Sweeeet", they all chanted as the chaos began. Like many smashes of priceless pieces, and setting things on fire, it made me feel that there was hope for them. I'm so proud (sniffle). We bent down to Tayume's, thrown by Raine to the floor, position.

"You hurt any of them, me and Devastated Darkness-my friend on my right-are going to end your life the minute we find you." She gulped as I pulled out my own sword, and we both placed the tip of our blades to her neck.

"Tayume's powers are dead. Just like her diminished brain. I hope when I leave my misery. That on her head acid will rain. And we hope all your nightmares come true", we both chanted, as though we read each other's mind, then we dragged the gapping Jordan, who sat at the door, out of the Abbey, and then I realised something.

I'll leave you there for now. So there you go, another chapter, and at least it's worth the wait because it's thirty-seven kilobytes last time I checked. Whooho! Record! It's my longest chapter yet! Personal best! Whooho! (sweatdrops) Yeah, I know I'm pretty lame, but to make up for the extremely long unnecessary wait, I'll see if I can write two chapters for my next update. Does that do any good?
