"Not you again,"a man's voice came. Jake stepped forward and nodded."Didn't I tell you to leave!"the man yelled. Jake just stood there looking down at his feet.
More men came and,"He's back!" One of them punched him in the stomach and another pushed him to the ground and another man loaded his gun and aimed for Jake. "No!"Rain said and jumped in front of Jake and spread her arms out.
She stood there as a human shield and a man yelled,"Who the hell are you!"
"You on his side!"another man yelled.
"Rain..and yes I'm on his side,"Rain replied.
"You his girlfriend or some thin?"one of the men asked.
"Yeah, I'm a girl and I'm a friend,"Rain replied. The man with the gun aimed at them again and Rain walked forward, her arms still outstretch.
"Rain don't!"Jake yelled.
Rain chuckled and said,"I'm ok."
"Rain,"Clyde said. Rain walked forward again when the man wasn't paying attention, she got closer and closer.
"Come any closer and I'll kill you!"the man yelled. Rain just smiled and continued forward, the man started trembling and pulled the trigger. It hit her shoulder and she kneeled down and fell over.
"Rain!"Jake yelled and ran forward thinking that the bullet hit somewhere else. Danielle ran up and punched the man with the gun in the face, Justin hit two men with his gun, and Clyde punched a few more men. One man stood standing and picked up the gun from the other man.
"I'll kill you all!"he yelled.
"Stop!"a woman's voice came.
"Maria, get out of the way!"the man yelled.
'mom!'Jake thought.
She knocked the gun out of his hand."Now..listen to me, Yugin, stay away from these people..don't come an inch near them,"she said.
"But he's the cause of our town destruction,"Yugin said as he pointed towards Jake.
"He did no such thing...it was that stupid fiend!"she yelled,"Now you and your people leave now!"
"But,"he whimpered.
"Go now leave!"she yelled and he and his people ran off. She turned to the party and asked,"You ok?"
"Sure,"Rain replied from down in Jake's arms.
"Mom?"Jake asked.
Maria nodded and bent down by him and Rain."Who are these people with you, Jake?"she asked. He induced them all to her and she said,"Nice to meet you all..thank you for taking care of Jake."
"He took care of us too,"Rain said. Blood was streaking Rain's and Jake's clothes.
"Come with me,"Maria said once she noticed Rain bleeding. Jake nodded and picked Rain up and the party followed Maria. They came upon a building that looked like a hospital."This was the only building that survived in the explosion,"Maria said and led the group inside.
"Oh my, is she hurt?"A lady with blonde hair said as she ran up to them,"Come with me." The group followed the woman into a room."Set her down,"the lady commanded. Jake set Rain down on coach and patted her on the head.
"Stop treating me like a child, Jake,"Rain whined. Jake shrugged and turn to the party. The lady bent over and pulled out the bullet from Rain's arm."It's a poison bullet!"the woman shrieked and dropped it on the ground.
"Yugin's gonna get it now!"Maria yelled and ran out of the room.
"Mom!"Jake yelled and ran after her.
"What?"she asked with her fists clenched.
"Why do you care so much about her..you don't even know her?"Jake asked.
"Jake, she means a lot to you..I don't want her dying..she seems to like you too,"she replied. Jake blushed and said,"She's the first one to talk to me ever since I left town...but just leave Yugin alone and he'll leave us alone, k?" Maria nodded and walked back into the room and Jake followed. When they entered Rain was passed out and was laying on a bed now."Is she gonna be ok?"Maria asked.
"I don't know...the only chance that she has is antidote,"the lady asked.
"What kind of antidote?"Justin asked.
"That's it name 'antidote',"the lady replied,"You can only find it in Pasta...its five miles northeast from here, you must hurry if you want your friend here to live."
"Ok lets go!"Jake shouted and ran out of the building. Justin chuckled and ran after him, Clyde laughed and jogged out of the room, and Danielle rolled her eyes and ran out. Rain opened her eyes and smiled weakly and slowly closed her eyes again. Maria looked at Rain then at the girl with blonde hair and ran after her son. Justin was just about to drive away when Maria shouted,"Stop! Wait for me!" Justin stopped and Maria climbed into the jeep. The party was quite until a fiend appeared in front of them."Holy shit!"Justin yelled.
"Exciting,"Danielle said and jumped out of the jeep.
"Danielle!"Clyde whined and followed her out.
"God!"Jake said and got out of the jeep. Justin sighed and picked up his gun and got out. The fiend was really big and scaley with a very scary face.
"Come get some,"Danielle said as she took out her swords. The fiend charged at Danielle, but Danielle moved to the side and the fiend ran into a rock. Jake took this opportunity to strike, he sliced his head off and wiped the blood from his face and then another fiend appeared behind Jake and clawed him. Danielle flew on top of the fiend and cut down its back, the fiend flung her off and she landed on the ground on her butt. Clyde used 'Flame' from his ninja magic on the fiend and Justin shot it in the head. It fell over and died."You ok, Jake?"Justin asked.
"Sure, but we need to get to Pasta,"Jake replied.
"Are you forgetting someone?"Danielle asked from the ground.
"Oops sorry, Danielle,"The guys said and helped her up. They got back into the jeep and Maria cast cure on everybody. Clyde scooted closer to Danielle when she wasn't paying attention.
"Danielle,"Clyde whispered in her ear.
"What do you want?"Danielle asked.
"Just feel like talking to ya, Danielle,"Clyde replied.
"Do you think I really want to talk to you?"Danielle asked.
"I don't care, cause we're talking now,"Clyde said.
"To bad,"Danielle said and pushed him away from he.
"Come on, Danielle, we haven't really had a real conversation in years,"he said.
"Clyde, you know I don't like you that well...after what happened,"Danielle replied and turned back to the window. Clyde leaned over and kissed Danielle on the cheek, she turned red then punched him hard in the stomach.
"Why you hit so hard?"Clyde asked. Danielle rolled her eyes and acted if she didn't hear him.
"Clyde, what are you doing to Danielle?"Justin asked.
"Nothing,"Clyde replied and turned back around.
"Are we there?"Jake asked impatiently.
"Two more miles,"Justin replied. Jake nodded and looked back out the window.
"Jake, she'll be ok,"Maria said softly.
"Yeah, she can hold out for a long time...she pretty tuff for what town she came from,"Jake said with a chuckle. Maria smiled and took a drank of water from the canteen.
"We're here,"Justin said and got out and everyone else followed him.
"Start searching,"Jake said. Jake ran around until he walked into a red headed person.
"Watch were your walking,"the man said.
"Sorry, do you know were antidote is sold?"Jake asked.
"Yes, from here you go strait and then you turn left and it should be around there,"The man replied.
"Thanks,"Jake said and darted off.
"Jake!"Maria shouted and started looking around for him. Maria went around and saw him enter a shop.
"Sir, may I have forty antidotes please?"Jake asked. The clerk nodded, bought out a bag of antidote and said,"That will be 20,000 Gil."
Clyde came and put 20,000 Gil down on the counter."Thank you,"Clyde said to the clerk."Come on, Jake." They ran out of the store and joined the party again."Did you get the antidote?"Maria asked.
"Yes, I got forty of them,"Jake replied.
"Why so much, Jake?"Danielle asked.
"I'm giving twenty to the town and keeping twenty for us,"Jake replied.
"We better get going if we want Rain to survive,"Justin said as he looked at his watch.
"Can't we just leave her?"Danielle asked.
"No,"Clyde and Jake said.
"Come on,"Justin said and they ran to the jeep. They arrived back into town and they went strait to the building.
"Your back,"the blonde said and Jake handed her a antidote. She nodded and put it in a shot and injected Rain with the antidote."There, she should be up and running in the morning,"the blonde said.
"Why does she have to get better so soon...why can't she be like this for a week or two?"Danielle complained.
"She'd be dead by that time,"Justin replied.
"So, Your point is?"Danielle asked.
"She'd die,"Justin replied.
"So..I don't care,"Danielle said.
"Do you really hate her so?"Justin asked.
"No, I was just kidding,"Danielle said even though it was true. Justin rolled his eyes and looked down on Rain. She seemed peaceful in bliss, but sorrow still showed.'I feel sorry for these people..their so unfortunate. They lost their families' and homes...everything. Well if that would have never happen then we would have never met...but that's not really fair, I still have a home and they don't,'Justin thought to himself. Rain smiled in her sleep for some while.
'What is she dreaming of?'Jake asked himself,'Well at least she's happy.' Jake stroked her hair and sat on the coach.
"There are other rooms free so you can take them,"the blonde suggested.
"Sure,"they all said.
"Ok, but your all sharing a room with three beds..so two of you have to sleep in the same bed,"she said.
"What about Maria?"Justin asked.
"Don't worry about me I'm staying were everyone else..cause I'm not injured,"Maria said.
"So only two of you have to share a bed,"the blonde said.
"No, they don't cause I'm staying in here with Rain,"Jake said.
"Are you sure you want to stay?"the blonde asked.
"Yes,"Jake replied.
"Ok the rest of you follow me,"the blonde said and walked out. Everyone ran out except Rain, Jake, and Maria.
"It was good to see you again,"Maria said as she wrapped her arms around him.
"Me too,"Jake said.
"Guess what,"Maria said.
"What?"Jake asked.
"Jessie is still alive, but she's been here for awhile she can't move really, but she can talk. She told everyone it wasn't your fault..for the town and for her. She getting better by the day,"Maria said.
"Really where is she?"Jake asked. She grabbed his arm and lead him to a room right across from them.
"Jake!"Jessie exclaimed when she saw him.
"Jessie!"Jake said and threw his arms around her.
"I thought you were never coming back,"Jessie wheezed.
"Oh Jessie, I'm sorry I left you on the ground to die,"Jake said.
"I thought it was the end when I fell down...but I guess it wasn't and you just listened to me and ran...I'm glad your alright,"Jessie said and lift her arms weakly around Jake.
"I'll leave you two alone..I'll watch Rain for you, Jake,"Maria said and walked out.
"Whose Rain?"Jessie asked.
"One of my friends I met on the road,"Jake replied.
"Is she nice?"she asked.
"Extremely, but when something makes her really mad...she can be scary,"Jake replied. Justin stood in the door way and said,"Wow! Reunion!"
"Is he another one of your friends?"Jessie asked.
"Yup, that's,"Jake started but was cut off.
"I'm Justin,"he said and shook her hand.
"Nice to meet you I'm Jessie,"she said. Justin nodded and let go of her.
"God! I can't sleep!"Danielle said as she went by.
"Danielle!"Justin called.
"What the hell do you want!Danielle yelled when she got into the room.
"That's Danielle,"Jake said and whispered to her,"She has a bad temper."
"I'll keep that in mind,"Jessie said with a giggle.
"Jake, I thought you were watching Rain,"Danielle said.
"I will..moms watching her for right now,"Jake replied.
"Oh,"Danielle said. Clyde ran in the room and started doing a weird dance."Clyde you moron, what are you doing?"Danielle asked.
Clyde blushed and said,"Nothing really I just being ususal self." Danielle rolled her eyes and Jake and Justin laughed."What?"Clyde asked and then looked down to notice Jessie."Whoa, who's the girl?"Clyde asked.
"I'm Jessie,"she said.
"Nice to meet you I'm...,"Clyde started but was cut off.
"Clyde,"she said,"Nice to meet you."
"No, nice to meet you,"Clyde said and kissed her hand. She giggled and smiled at him.
'Big flirt!'Danielle thought.
"You are very pretty,"Clyde said.
"Really...how is that possibly?"Jessie asked as she turned red.
"Because you are,"Clyde said.
"Your friends are quite charming, Jake,"Jessie said.
"Don't I know it,"Jake said.
"Epically this one,"Jessie completed. Clyde blushed and bowed.
"Well I'm going to bed,"Danielle said and walked out.
"Us too,"Justin said paretically dragging Clyde out of the room.
"I'm going to sleep now..promise you'll visit me tomorrow,"Jessie said.
"Yeah I will..night,"Jake said and left back into where Rain was. He curled up on the couch and fell asleep.
