The day ended slowly and night broke, clearing the joyful bright sky and changed into a sad and lonely darkness. The clouds gathered, covering the only bright lights that was not really theirs but borrowed from the real star. Dilatorily, the wind became colder and soon rain had fallen from heaven, enveloping the whole place. Darkness reigned trough the cold and melancholy night.
Nokoru stood in silence, his eyes shut and his head tilted up; accepting the rain to flow all over him. He was already cold and desperately soaking wet but he didn't mind, he didn't care at all. He opened his sapphire blue eyes, sparkling beautifully in the midst of despair. His eyes were the only ones glimmering in the night; those inexplicable eyes of his- can't even deceive his looks… he was crying. Those eyes of an Imonoyama can never change what he feels, what he seems and what he hides under his mask. For some reason, rain is the only thing that can reveal his sorrow, which was never shown to anyone.
A frown marked on his face as he felt pressure on his entire body. His heart seems to be bleeding and he can't help it. He was all alone, ever since before and until now. Even though he has Suoh and Akira most of the time beside him; he was trained not to tell anyone of his pain. The smile, which is their trademark, an Imonoyama's mask. That's why… he is so alone and sorrow cradles him in darkness. He is suffering and no one noticed that because of his mask. "I am not perfect at all as everyone thought so. I can't be what they want me to be." Tears fell rapidly down his cheeks and smiled. He hates his life! He wants to be free. He needs someone to lean on. He can't carry this pain all by himself.
He lifted his feet and slowly walked just to ease the pain but it won't go away and it hurts him even more. He then stopped before a Cypress tree, staring at it. He tilted his head and watched the leaves dance with the wind, some would rather fall before him and would lie flatly on the ground, waiting till it whither. "Cypress…" Nokoru placed his hand on the bark of the tree, feeling its rough texture. "…do you also feel pain?" He turned his back and lowered his head, making his golden hair cover his sapphire blue eyes. "Maybe not…" He walked away in silence and sat on the stairway before their house and kept on thinking. "What if I was not born as an Imonoyama? Will my destiny be changed or will it be the same? Will I be able to meet Suoh and Akira if I were just an ordinary person, an ordinary Nokoru? But… will I be that person I wanted if I became ordinary?' Nokoru raised his head and faced the rain, dripping down him.
Tears fell down again, warming his soft cold cheeks. He just can't stop it from flowing out. He is eventually a human, which means he may release this pain lingering in his heart. Even training can't stop this pain because it is natural for humans to show it off. Whatever their state of life is or whoever they are, everyone had fallen in sadness and experienced the pain of imperfection. Nokoru held his chest and felt the beat of his lonely sacred heart. He didn't know what to do anymore, he was just that oppressed and unsecured. He wants to tell his feelings but he can't, he was afraid to tell it to anyone. The paint that lingers in his heart will never be revealed as he said it to himself again and again. He stood up and was not able to move as a familiar voice approached him from behind. "Kaichou! What are you doing out here in the middle of the night!" The blonde turned his back and faced the angry ninja. "Suoh…isn't the rain beautiful?" Nokoru looked up the sky, smiling… wearing his innocent mask again, covering himself. Luckily, it was dark and rain flowed covering his tears as they slowly faded away. "Yes… err…. Kaichou!" The blonde giggled and tapped Suoh on the shoulder. "That's not funny. Please get inside the house already before you get sick." Suoh grabbed him by the arm and directed him in his room. He was very tense and worried too much in his condition. He asked the blonde to take his bath as soon as they got in his room and eyed him till he gets in the bathroom and takes a shower.
"Kaichou! I can't believe you stayed there for hours already! Don't you know that you might get sick?" Suoh scolded Nokoru directly after he had put on his clothes. "Geez Nokoru! I've been saying this a hundred times already! Nokoru… are you listening? Nokoru! Nokoru!" The blonde fainted, falling in the ninja's arms. The blue haired placed him on his bed and checked his temperature. His face marked an unwanted look and hastily ran outside calling for help.
