sry in advance for this chapter. its a filler and kinda sucks...T.T i know i know

...Dun dun dun...DUN! be ready for the suckyness!

I've been running for a bout an hour now so I slowed down to a stop and sat down on a small bolder. I'm in the middle of the woods, why can't I hear or feel the animals. Because you just got your powers, meaning that till they set in properly and you can control them, they'll be on and off. But this is dangerous you have to be on guard 24/7. Climb up into a tree and meet with us so we can help you. Dose anyone else think it's weird having people talk in your head? I got back up and climbed up a tall tree. Sitting down, I started to meditate. I opened my eyes to the ever-familiar face of Wolf.

"Hey, so you guys are going to help me control it?"

"Yes, now hurry up. Go to Cat's cave, she'll help you." She bounded off into her woods as I got up. Ok go see Cat, that should be easy. I walked beside the pond to her cave and walked in.

"Kitty cat there you are. Come sit down. Now all we're going to do is meditate. Its different from how you usually do it, this will help you keep your powers under control till you find the Old one." I sat down in the middle of the cave listing as she dictated what she wanted me to do.

"In 1-2-3-4, out 1-2-3-4-5, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4-5, now go within yourself and reach out to your animal side. Create a binding spell of light and rap it around. Now return to your breathing." Binding is harder then it sounds, you have to actually visualize this happen, believe it, and continue to think about it so it won't go away. It takes a lot out of you. But the quicker I get a hold of this and the quicker I find the old one and my dad, the sooner I'll be back with Haru.

-Haru's point of view-

I watched as she ran away and it hurt. I never felt like this before, not even when I thought she loved Daren. Why did she leave? What did the letter say? Did I do something wrong? No before she left she said she loved me and she didn't want me to forget that, so she must have been planning to leave. Why? Doesn't she know how much she hurt me? Rain, why did you leave?

"Haru don't look so sad, where's Rain I'm sure she'll cheer you up." Shigure said as he nudged me. I didn't even have the strength to hit him. I just turned around and walked up to our…my room. I have to go after her, if she's going through something I want to help. How the hell am I going to find her? I can't even go to the market without getting lost. Curse my sense of direction. But I have to find her I have to. Kyo! Wouldn't he be able to sense were she is? He should be able to right? Without giving it another thought I went to the window and swung up to the roof. There he was lying down by the side.

"Kyo!" he jumped up almost falling off the roof.

"What do you want now?"

"You can smell or sense people right? Like if I wanted you to find Rain you'd be able to right?"

"Yeeeah? Wait what happened with Rain?" wow so he isn't a total idiot.

"She ran off."

"Why?"

"I don't know. But I think she was planning to leave, but when she got this letter she just ran. We have to find her, she might be in trouble."

"Alright. Now we have to get some packs, and I guess we should tell Shigure." I was already on it. I went back to my room and grabbed some clothes, then rushed down to the kitchen to fill another bag with food.

"Yo, Haru!" I spun around to see Daren. I hated it when he just puffed on in, and this wasn't really a good time either.

"What do you want?" yes we've gotten to be friends, but I still had my suspicions.

"Where's my kittycat?" his kittycat? HIS kittycat? I waited a second till I cooled down till I answered.

"She went out." I wasn't going to tell him what was going on. He'll just find her first and be her knight in shinning armor.

"Was she acting funny?" he looked a bit worried that she went out. How would he know if she was acting funny? They must have a closer bond then I expected! This isn't the time or place to get jealous god damn it. He might be able to help.

"I don't think so." He didn't look as if he believed me.

"Um, hey do you think you can do me a favor?"

"Depends."

"Me and my wife got into a big fight and she took off, and now I need to go away, just for a short while, so do you think Rain Drop could stay here?" he's lying, why would he bring this up now? And he wants me to take care of his kid so he can find Rain. I knew it. But he spoke again. "Look I know your lying, but she needs to do some of this on her own. Maybe after a couple days you can go after her."

"Wait, what dose she need to do?"

"That my friend only she knows, I just know that she needs to do it alone. But seriously me and my wife got into a fight." sweat drop damn do I feel stupid.

"Oh um, yeah I guess she can stay, you'll have to tell Shigure." Maybe I was wrong about him. At least I can only hope I am.

Daren went back to his castle and brought back his daughter and set her up in the guest room. Momiji's going to love this. I walked back up to my room and sat down. I heard a knock at the door and went to open it and looked down to see Rain Drop. She freaks me out; she has this black hair and this really pale skin with light grey, almost white eyes. She looks as if she knows something you don't, especially now.

"She will look far and wide, but still not get what she must find, for it is here, right at home, a home of strangers and a home of love.

If he's with her, he'll bring her pain; if without he'll bring distain. So its left to you whether you go or stay, for daddy already went away."

With that she turned around and vanished. What the hell was that? Was she talking about Rain? Was she talking about me? I have to go find her; it's my choice right? Wait Daren already went out to find her! That fucking asshole I knew it I knew it! Fuck! I rushed to get my pack from the bed and ran down stairs to get Kyo.

"Kyo you damn cat! Hurry up we have to leave!" on the way out I explained what all happened. Not that he really cared because he just wanted to get away but still. Kyo led the way to Rain.

Rain you should of never left me.

-Rains point of view-

After what seemed like hours of meditation. Cat then informed me that I would have to stay calm and collected so that I can deal with the animal's emotions. For if I have a lot of emotion I wouldn't be able to handle the animals. So that kind of weirded me out. How am I supposed to not show emotion? With these thoughts going through my head I slid into a fitful sleep.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh why did Daren lie? dose he secretly love Rain? what was going on with what Rain Drop said? was she talking about him or Daren or someone else? why is he going to get her even though it will bring her pain? ugh so many questions
