Type 007: Seldom RainRain makes you feel relaxed
Also eases your mind
I like the rain very much
Like a good companion.
-Izumi Orimoto, Kimura Kouichi and Kanbara Takuya
You have different meaning from the weather,
For me it makes me saw… no angry.
It makes me to lose control and consciousness.
Like I want to rip everything apart,
I could not help myself but to feel that way.
-Minamoto Kouji
Kouji was somewhat in the darkness. He was standing there so motionless. He looked at his side, yet he saw no one was around him. And he hears no sound that was coming to his way. The Lad never shown any fear or concern of his own situation instead he was rather keep one's head.
"Again this dream never ends the road ever since when I was young." He said to himself.
As Kouji was standing motionless with his head down with the same emotionless on his face and then he suddenly heard a soft giggling voice of a little girl.
Then the scenery of the darkness suddenly changed into a beautiful garden that is filled with beautiful flowers around the bandana head lad. The view was truly beautiful and magnificent that he had ever seen in his life not to mention the smell of the flowers' aroma. Kouji found himself staring admiringly at the flowers.
"Those flowers are beautiful ne mister?" the voice of a little girl asked him.
The bandana head lad turned his head around. What he just saw was a little girl who seems to be in about a age nine or ten. The little girl was wearing in white dress that has short sleeve yet it has v-cut with few strings were attached to one end to another, and she was wearing a very large straw hat that was covering her face.
"You are…?" he said.
"But the people doesn't know how lonely the flower can be, ne?" the little girl continue her talk.
The little girl turned her back and started to walk away leaving the lone wolf lad alone, Kouji started to follow her. Then the little girl suddenly vanished in the thin air. This made him very surprised.
"Where the—"
Before Kouji could even say another word and start to his search of the mysterious little girl in white dress. He found himself in a different place again. But this time the place was raining very hard and he saw a little boy who was standing under the rain. The little boy was drenched from the hard rain with his head bent down. Kouji stared at the mysterious little boy curiously.
"That kid…" he whispered,
"Reia-chan… why did you leave me? Why does it have to be you? I'm the one should die. Not you!" the young boy exclaimed.
The young boy's head was starting to heads up, and Kouji was readily himself to see what the young boy's face looks like. Then he gasped. The young boy has the same hair and eyes color to the lone wolf lad, but that's not. He also has the same face as Kouji.
"That kid was… Me." He muttered.
"Kouji! Kouji! Wake up man!" the voice called him.
The bandana head lad finally had his conscious as he was back from his daydreaming land. He was sitting in the ground with Takuya who was sitting across of him with his leg crossed in Indian style. The brunette lad had his face with a confused expression at the lone wolf lad.
"What's with that expressions of yours, Takuya?" Kouji asked him.
Takuya sighs and answered, "You've been walking in cloud nine, Kouji while I was trying to explain what happen." He said, "What's with you, pal? You never acted like that before. Did something happen?"
"Nothing's wrong, Takuya. It's just that I haven't sleep well lately." The bandana head lad replied.
"I smell really fishy on you, Kouji." Said the brunette lad.
The bandana head lad ignored at the goggle head lad's last comment and he stared at the sky. From what he sees in the sky was very dark and grayish that he had saw up there. Kouji's expressions suddenly felt a little tense up as he saw the weather's view.
"Man I bet it's going to rain any minute." Takuya commented.
"Ummm…yeah." The lone wolf lad agreed, "By the way where's Kouichi?"
"Hm? Kouichi is helping out for the gym with Izumi's help. They should be back before lunch's about to start." The brunette lad answered.
"I see…" he said.
-To Kouichi and Izumi
Kouichi and Izumi are carrying small boxes that are on their arms and the two teens are walking down the school's gym. As they were both heading their way to the gym's storage room.
"Thanks for helping me out, Izumi." Kouichi tanked her.
"The pleasure is mine, Kimura-kun. We're friends aren't we?" she said.
"Yeah…"
While they were heading their way out to their way, Izumi suddenly stopped as she saw something outside of the weather. Kouichi also noticed at the blonde haired girl's curiosity, then he joined with her gazing at the sky. The short blackish-blue haired lad was very surprised at the weather he just saw,
"It looks like it's going to rain very soon." Izumi commented.
"I hope he won't get drastic just like the last time." Kouichi mutters.
"Kimura-kun?" she said surprisingly, "Is there something wrong there?"
"Iie, Izumi. I think I was talking out loud to myself. Let's go and put these boxes back to the storage room, lunch's about to start any minute." He answered.
Izumi was about to ask question to the shorthaired lad about his comment that she had heard it clearly from him, unfortunately the lad had already gone ahead to the gym's storage room. The blonde haired stared at Kouichi with small sweat that was rolling down her skin.
"What's with him?" she whispered, "I'd better catch him up before that comes."
-Lunchtime
It was now lunchtime for the junior high school students, everyone are lining up to get some food that was available on the cafeteria's menu. For now it was pouring cats and dogs outside of their school, and it was impossible for them to eat lunch outside. In that case they had no other choice but to eat inside of the school building.
Izumi was sitting with Takuya, Kouji and Kouichi along with young Tomoki since the young fourteen-year-old boy has been hanging out with the blonde haired girl. And now he's been hanging out with the four coolest students in Tsukiya Hana School.
"Here I made lunch that would fit for us all. I hope you guys would like it." She said.
"Whoa! Sugoi da, Izumi. I'd bet this would be delicious." Kouichi exclaimed.
"Of course it is. Izumi-neechan's foods are the best!" Tomoki exclaimed as he took one of Izumi's food.
"Hey Kouji, you'd better taste Izumi-chan's food, they're way delicious." Takuya told the silent long blue haired lad.
Kouji neither reply nor react next on the goggle head lad's comment, the bandana head lad had been looking angry that was on his face. The expression of Kouji made the others to look frighten as they looked at his face including for Izumi and Tomoki. But for Kouichi and Takuya, they looked very aware at the bandana head lad's strange expression.
"I'm done… There's something I need to do." Kouji said as he got himself up on his seat and went away.
Before Izumi was about to talk to the lone wolf lad but Takuya as stopped her he took her left hand. The brunette head lad shook his head with a serious expression. Izumi could see the brunette lad was pleading her to leave Kouji alone for a little while. With this she let to the lone wolf lad off alone.
"What's the matter with Kouji-niisan?" Izumi asked.
"This is the first time I've seen, Kouji-niisan like that before." Tomoki commented.
The blonde haired beauty turned her head to the goggle head lad as she was about to asks him something that she wants to know so desperately about Kouji, but she wasn't given a chance to ask him.
"If you are asking about that, Izumi-chan, it's better not to know." He told her.
"And I would not dare to piss him up more." Kouichi added. "At least at this part."
While Izumi was still in the table with Takuya, Kouichi, and Tomoki, from outside of the school's cafeteria the blue bandana head lad was sitting on the stairs with both of his hands holding to his head. Kouji's expressions were mixture of anger and sadness as the images are showing up in his mind.
"It's coming again…" he muttered, "PLEASE GO AWAY!"
-After Class
School has finally ended and it's time for the students to go home while some of them are going to stay behind the class to clean up the whole school before going home. In the class where our main heroine was, Izumi had noticed that Kouji wasn't in the class not to mention that he hasn't come back after lunch.
"Hey Takuya-kun, Kouichi-kun, Minamoto-kun didn't come to class after lunch" she said.
"Yeah, we kind of noticed that, Izumi. I think he went to the clinic and told the nurse that he wasn't feeling alright, so he headed home." Kouichi answered.
"You really think so, Kimura-kun?" she asked again.
"Kouichi and I knows it we kindda bumped to the nurse and told us that Kouji headed home." Takuya supports the elder twin.
"I see… then see you guys tomorrow." She bid goodbye to them.
Izumi had gone home ahead leaving Takuya and Kouichi behind in the school. The duo boys were smiling at the blonde haired beauty, until she was already gone. Their smile suddenly faded into sad and worried expressions that were showing on their faces. The shorthaired lad looked at the window, outside it was still raining and it occurring really fast than the last time he saw it.
"Now what can we do now?" he wondered.
-Few days later
It's been already three days, the seat of Kouji has been empty for the past days. The girls were getting curious and worrying on the bandana head lad's absent and missing. Izumi was also worried for Kouji yet he was getting to looked bother by two things why the long haired lad has been absent ever since the rain has already occurred.
While the blonde haired girl was getting worried and curiously on that thing, Takuya have noticed Izumi's worried on their friend's absent. The brunette lad turned his head to Kouichi. The blackish blue haired lad somehow understands what he was about to say. The elder twin nods his head, as he understands what to do.
Sound effect: School's Bell
"Okay class before you all go, I want you to read your History Book on page 672 to 675. And I want three pages of your report. CLASS DISSMISED!" said the teacher.
The whole classes are getting up from their seats and started to head home, the blonde haired girl was still sitting in her seat while she was gathering her books on her desk. And puts them in her bag. Kouichi and Takuya neared the blonde haired girl.
"Hey Izumi, you have time after this?" Kouichi asked her.
"Yes, Kimura-kun. I don't have anything to do." Izumi answered.
"You may call me Kouichi, Izumi. No need to call my last name." He said, "Takuya's coming over to my house. And I think I might need your help to… Kouji."
"Something happen on Minamoto-kun?" she asked him.
Kouichi was about to answers Izumi's last question but for somehow he got the words holding on as he was about to explain to her. Takuya noticed at his friend who was now having trouble to answer the truth.
"Well it's kindda hard to explain how Kouji is doing. Maybe it's better if you should come over to their house, and check it out." Takuya answered.
"Aaahh… okay." She said.
The trio teenager friends were heading their way to Tsukiya Hana Apartment. While they're heading off to their destination, Kouichi neared to the goggle head lad.
"Hey thanks for saving my butt, Takuya. I owe you one." Kouichi thanked him.
"No sweat, Kouichi. But I've got a nagging feeling it would take a lot of explanation if she see 'it'." Takuya whispered.
"I know…" he answered.
-Next minutes later
They're already in Kouichi's house inside of the house it was neat and almost perfect like they're in a beautiful hotel lobby. Izumi was amazed at the wonderful place that Kouichi and Kouji have cleaned and organized.
"Sugoi da, Kouichi-kun. You and Minamoto-kun sure organized well." Izumi complimented.
"Hmm… It sure looks the same than the last time I visited here." Takuya mutters.
"Thank you, but I think we should check out otouto." Kouichi suggested.
When Kouichi have said it, his expressions suddenly become worried and sad as Izumi have surely noticed it. Then this made her to wonder why Kouichi suddenly felt so worried and sad as he just mention about Kouji. The blonde haired girl was about to ask the elder twin but Takuya interrupted her.
"So shall we all go and see how's that guy doing?" the goggle head lad asked.
"Yeah. Please come in but let me tell you that Kouji's not in a good mood." Kouichi told them.
Izumi didn't say another word or ask anymore further more question, even though there are some things that still bothers her. Without any noticing, Takuya was watching at her expression secretly that Izumi have failed to see it. The blackish blue shorthaired lad led the two to the room where Kouji would be. As Kouichi was about to open the room's doorknob, Takuya and Izumi have noticed the elder twin seems to be trembling. The elder twin opened the door slowly as they can see clearly inside of the room they got surprised.
Inside of Kouji's room was very messy. Pillows were scattered everywhere, the bed's sheets were misplaced, and that's not all, the room was all dark yet it looks much scary on the room's atmosphere. Then they saw Kouji was lying on the ground looking so lifelessly like a useless puppet that has broken strings. This panics for them.
"Otouto? What happen here?" Kouichi asked.
"WHAT IN THE WORLD—? KOUJI DID YOU JUST RANDOM YOUR OWN ROOM?" Takuya asked.
"Daijoubu desu ka, Minamoto-kun?" Izumi asked him worriedly.
"…Get out…" Kouji said.
"EH?" they said altogether.
"Otouto…"
"I SAID GET THE HELL OUT OF MY ROOM! LEAVE ME ALONE!" he yelled
'BLAM!'They're now sitting at the living room right after the longhaired lad have shouted them out on leaving him alone. Izumi's worried expression was still on her face as Takuya and Kouichi have noticed it. The goggle head lad looked at the elder twin and gave out a nod that made the elder twin lad understands what he was trying to do.
"Anou… Izumi since you just noticed Kouji's acting a bit strange for the past days. I supposed you're curious about that, right?" Kouichi said.
"That's right ever since rain have started." Izumi answered, "Ame…"
One word that Izumi whispered in her mind then something have hit on her head. Takuya and Kouichi saw it quickly as the blonde haired girl had reacted fast. Now it's time for them to tell her something that he and Takuya had known.
"Does it have to do something with the rain!" Izumi exclaimed, "Please tell me!"
"Hai… Only Takuya and I knows this so I guess it can't be helped ne…" said Kouichi, "Kouji used to play with our little cousin, Reia-chan. Takuya you take over."
"You see it happens like that… he and Reia-chan…" Takuya said.
-10 Years ago…
"Kouji-niichan!"
Young seven-year-old Kouji turned his head with an excitement smile that was showing on his face. A young five-year-old girl who looks mature despise in her early age was nearing to young Kouji.
"Usoi da yo, Reia-chan." He told the girl called Reia.
"You ran too fast, Kouji-niichan." Reia told him, "So what do you want to show me?"
The young blackish blue haired boy gave out a smile at his cute little cousin. Then he took out a small red box form his pocket. Reia was still curious at inside of the red box then she titled her head. Kouji was still smiling at her, then he opened the box's lid. Inside of the red box contains a beautiful silver bracelet. Reia was surprised seeing the bracelet.
"This is my birthday gift for you, Reia-chan." Kouji told her.
"Kirei na, Kouji-niichan. Then I'll keep it in great care." She said.
"Kouji used to be happy and innocent back when we were small." Kouichi explained, "But one night, Takuya and I went to go to the grocery leaving Kouji and Reia with the others until something dreadful happened at Rainy day…"
A mysterious hit man appeared so suddenly in the house and killed everyone in the house in one or two blow with his own hands. Young Kouji, Reia and a house worker named Kuro were the only ones were still alive. Kuro was protecting both Kouji and Reia so hard.
"Get out of this house, Reia, Kouji. I'll take care of this." Kuro told them, "I can manage myself."
"All right but please don't push yourself hard, he's stronger than you would imagine." Kouji reminded him, "Let's go Reia-chan
As Kouji pulled young Reia's hand and started to run off for their lives just as Kuro the house worker had instructed them to do it. Then the hit man killed their best friend, Kuro so fast that the youngsters have seen. Reia was getting too scared yet she was too shocked to see Kuro's body was now dead in front of their eyes.
"Hurry up, Reia-chan!" Kouji yelled.
Before the two youngsters were about to move out and call off for help but the hit man was already standing there right in front of them. Kouji was about to go to another path of their escape but he could not do it as she had thought what might going to happen next if they move. So the young boy did not move but he let Reia to stay behind him.
"Ehehehehe… too bad you kids aren't going to live long enough but don't worry I'll send you all to where the other are… AHAHAHAHAHAH!" he said.
The hit man held his katana up in the air then he slashed across Kouji's chest but some thing is not right. The bloods doesn't belongs to Kouji instead it belongs to Reia. Reia must have pushed the young boy away in resulted she got slashed. Kouji lands outside of their house, he got all wet due the hard rain. He went over young Reia's body.
"Reia-chan! Reia-chan! Wake up!" he pleaded.
"Kouji-niichan…" the little girl whispered,
"Don't speak now, Reia-chan. You're going to be all right." He said.
"I'm sorry, Kouji-niichan." Reia whispers.
A sudden loud thunderbolt strike very loud through the sky, Kouji stared at Reia's body who is was now shocked as he hears no heart beats was beating on the little girl's heart. She was indeed lifeless like a doll. With that young Kouji screamed loudly like a wolf. He took a knife that was near him and threw at the hit man. It was aimed perfectly at the hit man.
-End of 10 Years Ago
Takuya and Kouichi have finished telling the story on Kouji's seldom relations behind the rains and his reason on almost berserking. Izumi was so shocked and felt very sad how tragic the longhaired lad's past was like. She could not help herself feeling so bad for him. Even Kouichi and Takuya who are also felt really badly at the incident from the past ten years ago.
"If only that didn't come she would've been alive…" said Takuya.
'BLAM! CRRRRRAAAAAAAASSSHH!'Loud crashing and blaming sound were coming from Kouji's room. Kouichi suddenly felt as white as a sheet of paper knowing the situation. Takuya felt a sudden concern look how things are going as Izumi. They all hurriedly went to the room, and then they all saw Kouji was throwing things around him as he was making another big mess.
"What with—"
"This is bad. No matter how hard the rain goes on Kouji would still go devasted as he could not accept the fate." Said Takuya.
"Yamero Otouto! This is the solution to calm yourself." Kouichi told his twin brother.
Kouichi was trying his best to put things back for his twin brother's angst but unfortunately he wasn't listening to him as he was completely out of control. He even threw the vase at the shorthaired lad, which is about to aim at him. The shorthaired lad put both his arms in front of her face to protect himself luckily Takuya caught the vase perfectly without any harm. The brunette saw Kouji's pupils were no longer on the lad's eyes instead they were all blue.
"Ch'. I guess there are no other choice but to do it." Takuya said to himself.
"What do you mean, Takuya-kun?" Izumi wondered.
Takuya didn't answered at her question but he already went across to Kouji and he aimed a strong punch perfectly right to the long blackish blue haired lad's right cheek. Even though he had hit him perfectly, Kouji didn't sense any pain but he seems to be enjoying himself receiving the pain. Yet within the lad's smile, Kouichi sense something bad that Kouji was up to fro Takuya.
"Takuya you'd better get out of there quickly!" he yelled.
"What are y—"
It was too late, Kouji had already held the goggle head lad's face using his one right hand up in the air. Takuya was getting really hurt as he could feel the younger twin's grip was so tight that he had ever imagined. Kouichi and Izumi were watching at them, they were both shocked that Takuya might end his life.
"Taihenda! I must find another way to stop Kouji at once." Kouichi said to himself, "Izumi—"
Kouichi turned his head to Izumi as he was about to instruct her on stopping Kouji doing all the things but it turns out that she was already there to the uncontrollable lad. And she held the long blue haired lad's right arm where he was holding Takuya's face. This surprised Takuya seeing her was doing risky things that are impossible.
"Don't do it, Izumi-chan or he'll hurt you too." Takuya warned her.
"I know that well enough, Takuya-kun, but I can't bare it if I don't do anything. That's why I'll try." She insisted.
The goggle head lad was bout to go against it but he simplifies gives up, as he knew that she couldn't be stopped. Even for Kouichi who also understands why she's doing it. Kouji saw Izumi clinging on his right arm. Before he may about to hit her, he suddenly stopped as he saw straight in the blonde haired girl's eyes.
"You have to stop it, Minamoto-kun. I know you're in deep pain of losing your precious cousin but losing control around won't heal your scars." She told him.
"How would you understand my pain? You don't know how painful it was when she was killed right in front of my very own eyes!" he yelled. "It was my fault that she died. It should've been me!"
"KONO BAKA! Don't you ever think like that, Minamoto-kun? How would Reia feels if she sees you blaming yourself of her death?" Izumi screamed back.
The words have hit the uncontrollable lad's mind as he realized the words and her expressions. Her expressions were similar to how Reia would feel for him and he barely imagines how sad she may look at him.
"Kouji-niichan yamero onegai…" Reia's voice pleaded him.
"Reia-chan…" he whispered.
Kouji's pupils were coming back to normal then tears were coming out from his blue orbs silently. Then he puts Takuya down gently and removed his hand away from the brunette lad's face. Izumi released her arms on Kouji's right arm very slowly than he watched him falls with his knees on the ground and continues to cry silently.
"I couldn't help it… blaming myself that I couldn't protect Reia-chan. It was my responsibilities to look after her but I've failed. I even blamed op the rain's fault." Said Kouji. "I always blame it but it hurts a lot."
The long blackish blue haired lad continues to cry silently as his tears were still coming out of his blue orbs, which made his visions t blurry. Then a pair of arms were wrapping around him, he felt a sudden warmth feeling around his body. He looked at the person who was giving the warmth feeling to him and realized it was Izumi who was hugging him.
"There, there, Minamoto-kun. You finally over come your past." She told him, "Rest assure."
Kouji was loss at words of Izumi's explanation yet she was right for him he was already tired from all the throwing things, and almost killing anyone he just did now. He slowly closes his eyes and drifted off to sleep, Izumi just smiled at the tiring lad while she stroke his hair.
"Hope you have a goodnight sleep, Minamoto-kun." She said.
While Izumi was stroking gently at Kouji's hairs and smiling at him. Kouichi was taking care of Takuya's small injuries and they're both watching Izumi stroking the tiring lad's hairs. The elder twin felt relief as he saw how Izumi done a great job claming down his brother for the first time in the history. The goggle head lad was also happy that things are getting on so smoothly, yet he has something bothering him as he watches Izumi and Kouji.
"I'd never expect Izumi did great." Kouichi commented.
"Neither do I." Takuya admitted yet a sad expression appears on his face, "Just like the Flower Princess calming down the out of control Wolf."
This also saddened for Kouichi. "Yeah… but it's a legend Takuya and…" he said,
Takuya cut him off, "I know it well, Kouichi. There are no such things as reincarnations." He finished.
