Chapter 19: He Telpathetic.

"He isn't a tramp Van." Rain retorted as she looked between the two boys. "Now please stop yelling, you are attracting a crowd."

"Shut up Rain! I know you better than anyone and I know that you would have sensed Raven being here right off and you didn't tell us! Now can you tell me why you wanted to keep him safe?" Van screamed as he turned back to Rain, grabbing her shoulders and violently shaking her.

"Hey! Let her go!" Ataru screamed as he pushed to the two apart. He put both arms between the two and pushed, knocking them both down. He bent down and wrapped his arms around Rain's waist to help her up, but he only received a shrill cry of pain from the girl in his arms. "What did I do?"

He slowly put her back down and watched her as she doubled over, wrapping her arms around her stomach in pain. "Don't, please, please don't grab my stomach like that again." Rain cried as she gathered her strength to try and stand. "And as for you Van! Don't accuse me of anything I had nothing to do with, got that?" She screamed as she finally stood up. She turned towards the others and gave them a dry look. Than she darted for the exit and went out onto the busy streets. 'Damn you Van, what's so wrong with him, why do you resent Raven so much? Wait, what am I saying, I used to hate him just as much as he does. But I can't hate him now, that's practically impossible.'

Before she knew it, she had made it to where they had stored the zoids. She stood in front of the shield liger, just staring blankly at nothing in front of her. Soon she heard the loud calls of Van, Ataru, Irvine, and the others all screaming her name. She closed her eyes and started to concentrate. Soon she had propelled herself in the air, she took herself higher till she landed on the head of the liger. She walked around on the metal for a bit until she heard the voices make it to her point. "Come on Rain! I'm sorry, I really am!." Van screamed as he walked all around the zoids. 'Where could she be?'

'So they followed. God, I can't get a break from anyone, now what do I do?' She stood up from her perch and idly walked over to the ligers tail and stood at the very end. She looked down and saw Kaiyu walking around admiring the Lighting Saix, he was practically drooling. 'I guess it wouldn't hurt to hang out with Kaiyu, now would it?' She jumped off of the liger's tail and hovered her way over to where Kaiyu was standing. She set down right behind him and put her hands over his eyes. "Guess who Kaiyu?"

"Ahhhhh." Kaiyu squealed at the top of his lungs. "It's a demon!"

"Shhh, Kaiyu, it's just me."

"Oh! Ms. Rain! Where did you go, I was worried that you wouldn't come back to us!"

"I'm fine, and of course I'd come back I…"

"Kaiyu!" Ataru was making his way towards Rain and Kaiyu. "Kaiyu, where are you? Why did you scream? Kaiyu?"

Rain picked Kaiyu and put him on her back. "Hold on tight, all right?"

"Ok." Just as she had done before she propelled her and Kaiyu in the air and hovered above the others for a minute. "This is so cool!"

"You want to do more up here?"

"Oh yeah! Let's go!" Kaiyu screamed as he pointed towards the town.

"You got it, just hold on tight, ok?"

"All right."

Rain shot off towards the town, leaving the others dumbfounded about where she and now Kaiyu, about where they were. She flew all around the town enjoying the thrilled cries coming from Kaiyu. 'He really likes this.'

"hey Rain, look, it's the same baby zoid from yesterday." Kaiyu screamed as he pointed at a balcony of the hotel they were staying at. "Can we go see it?"

"His name is Shadow, sure, it wouldn't hurt to say hi." She went back to the hotel and hovered above before landing on the balcony. "Hey Shadow." Rian said as she rubbed the shiny black metal of his muzzle, earning a slight purr type growl from the organoid. "Where's Raven?" She asked as she set Kaiyu down.

"I'm over here. What are you doing back so soon?" Raven asked as he appeared in front of the two. "And who's this?" He asked as he kneeled down to be eye level with Kaiyu.

Kaiyu made a small whimper noise and tried to hide behind Rain's leg as best he could. "It's ok Kaiyu, this is the one you were asking me about. Don't be afraid. His bark is worse than his bite."

"Hey. I'm good merchandise, not a downgrade."

"I'll take your word for it Raven. Come on Kaiyu, say hi, he won't hurt." 'Maybe Van, but not you… I did not just say that.'

"hi…"

"Kaiyu! Rain! Where are you two?"

"Ataru again? How do they always know where to find me?"

"Ataru telpathetic." Kaiyu said cheekily. "He say that's the way he always finds me."

"You mean telepathic. Well, I guess that works." Rain said as she looked over the balcony to see below them. "Yup, there they are. Every single one of them. I guess the words 'Give Up' aren't in their vocabulary, eh?"

"I guess not. Come on." Raven said as he grabbed her hand and put Kaiyu on his shoulder. "I got something to eat after you left."

I know, thank god it isn't a cliffhanger ne. Well, catch y'all later, and I don't own zoids. But I do own this story.
