Chapter 20: The tragedy.
Thank you to everyone who read my story and their chapters. Here is chapter 20.
"Come on Kaiyu, you hungry?" Rain asked as she looked down at the blonde, who wasn't releasing his death grip from her knee. "Oh don't worry, he won't bite."
"O… ok." The little boy slowly released his grip and sat in a nearby chair, which received a slight smile from Rain. "What about the others?"
"I forgot about them." She looked at the door, which quickly locked. "You can eat Kaiyu, they just can't know that he's here, ok?"
"Ok." He nodded happily as he sunk his teeth into a piece of fruit that he picked up off of the table. They could hear a happy sigh escape his lips as the sweet juice ran down his throat.
"Well, he's cute at least." Rain said as she held her stomach. 'Damn, it still hurts.' She thought as she ran her hand over her wound.
"Something wrong Rain?" The gray haired pilot sounded somewhat worried. "Did something happen to your stomach?"
"Oh no Raven. I'm fine, just a little sore, that's all." She smiled so simply that he had to smile back.
"Rain! Open the god damn door!" Van's voice boomed from the other side of the door. "I know you're in there!"
Rain rolled her eyes than looked over at Shadow and Raven, who were quickly shoving themselves into hiding. Raven was pushing Shadow into the closet, than he jumped underneath the bed. "Shh Kaiyu, don't tell them where they are, ok?" A nod, she unlocked the door with a flick of her hand. "Good. It's open, just get in here."
"WHERE DID YOU GO RAIN?!" Van screeched as he stepped into the room. "Why did you do that?"
"I wonder why Van, oh, let me see. I'm sick of being treated like I'm two! I can take care of myself for Christ's sake!" Rain shouted back as she slumped down onto the bed. "A few years back Van, you would have been my protector, and I would have been happy to have you around. But ever since I came back you are too protective. I didn't know he was here and here you are, blaming me for everything, worried that I'm hurt!" Tears started forming in Rain's dry eyes.
Irvine waked over and sat next to, wrapping strong arms around her thin frame. "Shh Rain, that's not it. Van's just a huge worry wart, nothing more, pay him no heed."
"I AM NOT!"
"Admit it Van. You don't think I can take care of myself. Admit it already." Rain screamed as she looked at Van's shocked face. "What are you shocked about?"
"GET OUT OF MY FUCKING HEAD!" Van cried as he grabbed his head. "I KNOW SHE CAN TAKE CARE OF HERSELF! I JUST WORRY!"
"Van, child in the room." Fiona scolded as she watched Kaiyu hide behind his older brother. "Van? What's the matter?"
"SOMEONES IN MY GOD DAMN HEAD BITCH!"
"Van!" Rain cried as she rose to her feet, and crossed the room to the stunned Fiona. "Apologize!"
"GET HIM OUT OF MY HEAD THAN!"
"Get who?" Rain looked around and saw Ataru concentrating. "Ataru?" She watched him more intently. 'It's you!' She screamed through a mental link she opened between the two. 'You're the one in his head!'
'How did you do that?' He asked as he looked at her. Breaking his concentration on Van, which got him to settle down and stop screaming. 'How are you in my head?'
'Why were in his head!? He can't talk back to you through his mind, he isn't capable of it, but I am! Now, let's see. Let me see what your intentions are.'
Rain and Ataru stood a good distance apart from each other, staring deeply in the others eyes. 'How would a mental whip lash feel?' Ataru asked as he noticed Rain had great mental defenses.
'Not if I get you first!' They started sending mental waves of pain through the mental link till neither could stand it any longer. "GAH!" Rain and Ataru both cried out as they clutched their heads and fell to their knees.
"Rain! Ataru!" Everyone screamed as they watched the two fall to the floor screaming. After a minute of both them breathing heavily and staring at the floor, they were slowly helped to their feet. "Come on Kaiyu, its time to go home." Ataru said coldly. Kaiyu jumped from the sound of his voice but nodded all the same. They slowly left the room.
Rain looked around, eyes void of any emotion. Black depths that held nothing. Fiona, Van, and Irvine were slowly trying to wake her from her trance like state while Moonbay and Thomas left to ask Ataru what happened. Raven still hadn't shown himself, he was afraid of what would happen to Rain if he did. Suddenly an image shot through Rain's mind and her head shot up. "No!" She screamed as she bolted out the door, a sound of a gunshot soon following after.
"Rain!" Everyone screamed as they rushed through the door. Not knowing Raven was in tow. When they came into the Lobby, they found a tall man with black hair holding a gun to Ataru's forehead, and a crying Rain on the ground, holding a blonde haired boy cuddled up against her chest. "Now I told you not to go against my will, now see what happened?" The raven haired man asked as he looked over the office counter at the owner of the hotel. "Just hand the money over and no one else will be hurt."
"You shot my brother!" Ataru screamed as he stared at the man with hate filled eyes. "You shot my fucking baby brother! He's only eight!" He ran at the black haired man with all his strength, than suddenly, he fell to the floor in a crumpled heap. "ATARU!" Rain screamed as she ran over to him, Kaiyu still in her arms.
"You… You ungrateful bastard!" She screamed as she felt for Ataru's pulse, right before noticing the gunshot to his chest. "How could you?!" She kindly laid the still squirming form of the blonde eight year-old next to his brother and stood. "Fiona, watch them." She walked up the gunmen, tears streaming down his face. "You will not live through what I am about to do to you." She stood straight and stared icily at the gunmen. Her hair flared up around her body and her eyes turned all white and blank. "YOU WILL NOT SURVIVE!" She screamed her last warning.
