Chapter 39: With Rain Comes Trouble

You couldn’t remember a time where you had so much fun! The concert was fun and made you forget about all the worry. It made you forget how there was a psycho trying to open up a portal to the demon world and destroy the human world. You were enjoying the concert even more when you looked at Kuwabara’s happy, stressed free face. He looked at his best like this, you thought.

His face being more relaxed gave his roughed features a smoother look to them. You blushed slightly and turned your attention back to the next song the band was playing on the stage. You had all gotten excellent seats, close to the stage but far enough where you didn’t get splashed with the sweat and spit coming from the lead singer of the group.

Once the concert was done, you filed out of the building with the rest of the crowd and headed out into the darken sky. It appeared to have started raining sometime while you were in the concert. You pouted. You knew you shouldn’t have worn your nice jeans and long-sleeved black hoodie that had green stripes down the sides of the arms. You could feel your clothes stick to your body, showing of every single curve of your body and leaving no room for the imagination. However, the same effect was happening to Kuwabara and the rest of the gang.

You could see Kuwabara firm chest and muscles underneath his black low cut black tank top. However his white jacket and white jeans covered most of his well-toned body. You shivered at the cool droplets of water that seemed to seep into your skin even through your clothes. You blinked away the raindrops. It was nice, even if you were wet and cold. It was nice to just enjoy a normal rainy night.

Kuwabara wrapped his white jacket around your shoulders and made sure to cover your head with your hoodie. You blinked and turned your big eyes towards his brown narrow shaped eyes. Kuwabara had a warm sincere smile as he looked down at you.

“You’ll catch a cold.” Was all he said.

“Thanks, but what about you?” you asked as you pulled the warm jacket closer around your body.

He gave you his famous cocky grin and pointed at himself.

“I have a strong immune system, I believe it’s cause I got a strong spiritual energy. I never get sick.” Kuwabara said proudly.

Before you could comment, Kirishima interrupted you.

“That was flippin awesome!” he said.

You had all finally drifted away from the crowd and could actually hear each other talk.

“So worth the wait, I tellya!” Kuwabara added turning to look at his good friend as you all continued to walk in the pouring rain.

“I’m still amped, man! Who’s for Karaoke?!” suggested Sawamura.

“Umm…well…” Kuwabara said stopping for a moment to think.

Your eyes seemed to sparkle at those words. You hadn’t been to a karaoke bar since you went with Kuwabara and Kurama all those months ago while taking a break from the training before going to the Dark Tournament.

“Oh, please Kuwa-chan!” You said, standing in front of Kuwabara with your puppy dog look.

Kuwabara couldn’t look away from those big pleading eyes of yours. The puppy dog look had an even more powerful affect, as you looked even cuter with the rain pouring down on your already soaked body. You really looked like a puppy dog, yet a wet one.

Kuwabara smiled warmly and closed his eyes.

“It’s been nothing but fight-fight-fight recently. What’s the harm in kicking back for an evening? Besides, (YAFN-chan) needs this break just as much as I do and I haven’t heard her sing in a long while just for fun.” Kuwabara thought before opening his eyes and giving you his famous goofy smile.

“Let’s go! We’ll sing our throats raw!” Kuwabara said, punching his fist into the air.

Your eyes widen in happiness before you jumped at Kuwabara. His reaction caused Kuwabara to yelp before catching you in his arms. He blinked down at you with a slight blush on his cheeks. You looked up at him with a wide smile and tilted your head to the side as you closed your eyes.

“I can’t wait to hear you sing! You are so awesome!” you said before opening your eyes and smiling up at him.

He looked down at you before chuckling and holding you closer. It felt good, not just that but right. It also felt a bit romantic, which caused you to stop and think about the situation more. You blushed and ended up looking away, however you found yourself looking at three snickering and winking boys. You narrowed your eyes at them and stuck your tongue out at them, which made them all laugh at you.

You smiled and laughed yourself. Kuwabara began to laugh as well and let you go; although to both you and his own disappointment. However, you all had somewhere to go in order to make this already perfect night complete.

You put Kuwabara’s white jacket on, since it wasn’t really keeping you warm just pulling it around your self. You shivered a bit more however; Kuwabara pulled you to walk close next to him. You slightly blushed again but could already feel the warmth from Kuwabara’s body begin to make you feel warmer. You all began to walk again.

“Which joint then?” asked Okubo.

“One with American music.” Kuwabara said before looking at you.

You nodded and smiled again. You heard Sawamura sneeze.

“Bless you.”

“Thanks.” You heard before you, Kuwabara, Kirishima, and Okubo began to make your way towards the place that had American music.

Your entire body stiffened and you shuttered. You had a chilling feeling, as if you had just walked into someone’s territory. However, you shook your head.

‘It must be the rain. I’m going to have to take a nice hot shower when we get home so I don’t catch a cold.’ You think.

Kuwabara felt you stiffened for a moment and looked down at you with a concerned look. He was worried if you didn’t get out of the cold rain you’d get sick. However, he couldn’t ponder more on the subject as a splash from behind you all was heard.

You stopped, causing Kuwabara to stop as well. Kirishima had also stopped and was looking around. You pulled a bit away from Kuwabara and also began to look around. There was something missing, or rather someone.

“Sawamura?!” said Kirishima as he looked around.

“Mura-kun?!” you called out at the same time as Kirishima also looking around for him.

It seemed like he just disappeared.

“Where’d ya go?” Kuwabara said blinking as he began to look around for his missing friend.

He pulled completely away from you, as he was curious as to where his friend had vanished. You missed the warmth of Kuwabara however; you were beginning to get a bad feeling that something wasn’t right. You felt a cold eerie chill run slowly down your spine.

‘That’s not good…’ you thought as you wrapped your arms around your soaked form.

“Aren’t we too old to play hide-n-seek?” laughed Kirishima.

However he stopped and looked down at a puddle that lay at his feet. You turned your eyes in his direction. Your eyes widened at the sight that lay in front of your eyes.

“Wha…?” Kirishima said as his eyes widened in fear.

Out of the puddle came a creature that appeared to be lunging towards the stunned young man.

“Hey guys! This is weird!” Kirishima shouted.

“Look out!” You shouted as you saw the creature’s finger turn into a sword.

Kuwabara turned around and with speed that would envy even Hiei; shot his hand out just in time to cover Kirishima’s heart. However, the water spike spiked Kuwabara’s hand in the middle of his palm. Kuwabara’s blood squirted out and even made the squish noise. Kuwabara grunted in pain however, he took it. Your eyes widened before you rushed over to his side.

“Kuwabara!!” both you and Kirishima shouted.

The water spike pulled out of Kuwabara’s hand and disappeared back into the puddle it had come from. Kuwabara’s hand spurted a bit more blood when the spike was removed and the pain caused Kuwabara to fall on to one of his knees. You were by his side and had your hand on his shoulder as you knelt down next to him and held his hand, looking at the injury.

“You okay Kuwabara?!” asked a worried Kirishima.

“What was that thing?! And where’s Sawamura?!” Okubo asked standing on Kuwabara’s other side, worry on his face and in his voice.

You covered Kuwabara’s hand with both of your own and tried to slowly heal up Kuwabara’s hand with out the guys noticing it. You turned your focus out into the pouring rain. It was hard to see however in the distance yet close enough; you could see someone wearing a yellow rain jacket. He had innocent round green eyes; however they appeared to have darkness to them. He was just five inches taller than you and you could tell he had blond hair underneath the yellow jacket’s hood.

You narrowed your eyes at him. However, there was something about the young man in front of you that seemed to show that he wasn’t really a bad guy however; he didn’t have any good intensions for you and the rest of the group either.

“I’ve been waiting for a rainy day,” began the young man, his voice smooth yet innocent like at the same time; “to exercise my full potential.”

“Is this a nightmare?” said a freaked out Okubo.

“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you all go to heaven together.” The young man said.

“Sawamura!” you all said.

Your eyes widened as you saw Sawamura a bit beaten up and in a chokehold by another water creature. However, this one had a water tail and was tall.

(Meanwhile, Yusuke is actually playing pachinko….^^; )


“I’m Kiyoshi Mitarai. Or rather I’m called Seaman.” Mitarai said. “I’ve been on your tail for a while, especially you, Kuwabara, now that you can’t sense auras. It’s careless of you to go off on your own. I was even able to avoid your sixth sense (YFN)-chan.” Mitarai said looking dead in your eyes.

You gasped. You had felt all night someone close by, however you had pushed that feeling to the back of your mind. You were now kicking yourself for not checking it out earlier. You growled along with Kuwabara. You had finally healed Kuwabara’s hand and stood up.

“This guy for real?!” Okubo asked a bit freaked out.

“I dunno, but I think so!” Kirishima said not sure how to really react.

Kuwabara flexed his newly healed hand.

“These guys are brazen! They come right out in the open!” he thought with narrowed eyes.

Mitarai snorted with a smile before removing a bandage from his finger.

“Let me show you what I can do.”

He pressed down underneath what appeared to be a cut and made some blood come out of the small wound. He then let the small droplet of the red liquid fall at his feet into a small puddle. As soon as his blood hit the puddle, the water began to move and began to take shape into a creature. You all gasped and looked on in awe as another water creature was formed from that puddle and this young man’s blood.

Mitarai held out his hand, pointing it at Kuwabara.

“A drop of my blood in liquid and a new creature! And the more blood I add, the bigger and stronger the creature.”

“Masochistic much?” you said with wide eyes.

It was a cool yet twisted power. One would have to be willing to cut them selves every time they wished to make one of those creatures. It didn’t really sit well with you; however, you could tell there was something off with this guy and you just didn’t know what it was. Sure, he was working for the bad guys and he just made a monster out of his own blood. And of course he did have one of Kuwabara’s, let alone one of your friends by the throat. But, that wasn’t what makes you feel something was off with him. There was something else lurking underneath that sadistic looking mask.

“Have I lost my mind?” Okubo said, laughing as he truly thought he had lost it.

“Let him go! It’s me you want, not these guys!!” Kuwabara growled, standing up.

“Moron!” Mitarai said, his eyes narrowing in a sadistic look, which gave you a hard cold chill down your spine.

Kirishima growled before rushing forward.

“Let’s do this jerk!!”

“Kirishima!! NO!!” Kuwabara shouted with wide eyes.

You watched as he pulled back his arm and was ready to punch Mitarai in the face, however the new creature he had made came up and punched Kirishima hard in the stomach. Spit and blood shot out of his mouth as his eyes widened in both pain and shock. He flew backwards and landed hard on his back.

The instant Kirishima was air born; Kuwabara, Okubo, and you rushed to aid your friend.

“That’s enough!” growled Kuwabara.

He was the first to reach Kirishima just in time to punch the mini creature that was in mid air and ready to attack the young man on his back. You knelt next to him and helped him sit up.

“Are you okay?” you asked with concern filled eyes.

However you heard a gasp and turned to find the creature Kuwabara just punch turn back into droplets of water before forming back into that mini creature. You looked back at Kirishima who gave you a weak smile, letting you know that he was okay. You nodded at him before standing up and kicking the creature before it could attack Kuwabara. However, the creature seemed to surround your leg. Your eyes widened as the creature swirled around your leg before reforming back into its form and re-appearing at your face.

All you felt was several punches to your face before you flew backwards.

“(YAFN)-chan!!” Kuwabara shouted before catching you in his arms.

You had a cut up lip and a small bruise starting to form on your cheek. It hurt, oh how it hurt. You let out a wince as you looked up at Kuwabara. Kuwabara looked down at you with worried filled eyes.

“There’s no way you can hurt it! It’s water!” Mitarai said with a laugh.

Okubo growled and raised his fist.

“Why you—.” He growled.

However, the small water creature punched him in the face.

“Ha ha…the four of them can’t handle that little guy! Just a few drops of my blood, and you’re down for the count!!”

Kuwabara knelt down with you still in his arms; you shook your head clear and got out of Kuwabara’s arms. He looked at you with worried filled eyes, however your attention was more so focused at the huge water creature. Your eyes widened and you gasped. Kuwabara looked in the direction you were and his eyes widened as well.

“Look what I’ve got.” Mitarai said tauntingly.

There in the big water creature’s arms, was Kirishima, Okubo, and Sawamura; all in a chokehold.

You were about to speak when you felt something surround you. You looked down and found a water creature swallowing you up. You tried to scream however, it swallowed you up and you too joined the trio in the arm lock of the water creature. You could feel yourself being crushed to this water creature; as if it were made of something solid.

“(YAFN)-chan!!” Kuwabara screamed, standing back up and looking on in horror that his closest friends since forever; not to mention the girl who he had gone through so much with, that they were being slowly crushed by that water creature.

“I could let you go. You’d like me to, right?” Mitarai asked with a smug smile on his thin lips.

You coughed and struggled in the grasp of the creature.

“Crap, crap, crap!” you thought.

There was nothing you could do. You couldn’t even call forth your spirit bo as your arms were held down against your side and if you took it out you could hit Okubo or Kirishima.

“Wrong. You let them go now or you’re dead.” Kuwabara narrowed his eyes as he let out a low growl.

His words held the threat as if one shouldn’t ignore it.

Mitarai snarled as he took out a small knife.

“Hmph. You fatheaded punk! Don’t tell me what to do!” Mitarai shouted as he brought the knife down and into the upper thigh of Okubo.

Okubo screamed out in pain. Your eyes widened and you struggled even more in the creature’s chokehold. You couldn’t stand to see your friend in pain like he was, but you were helpless to do a thing! It frustrated you to no end and you felt like you wanted to cry that was how frustrated you were at this very moment.

Kuwabara looked on in pure terror. He had just witnessed one of his friend’s get stabbed in the leg and there seemed to be nothing he could do to prevent it.

“I woulda let you live if you’d cowered and begged! Now I ain’t gonna!!” yelled Mitarai as he began to grind the knife even deeper into Okubo’s thigh.

“I’ll smash you!!” Kuwabara screamed as he came towards Mitarai with his fist ready to smash it into the bastard’s face that was hurting his friends.

However one of those small creatures came out of nowhere and slammed a water fist into Kuwabara’s face, throwing him backwards and landing hard on his back. His spat out blood mixed with spit.

“Hah! I’ll pound you till you scream for mercy! I’ll expose you for the coward you are!!” Mitarai laughed.

“Holy cripes! What’s wrong with my aura?!” thought Kuwabara, pissed that his aura had vanished when he needed it the most.

(1)Pachinko is where players pay money for steel balls, which randomly tumble through a pinball-like field and into different holes. Depending on which holes the balls land in, players accumulate points, which can be traded in to the pachinko parlor staff for various prizes and merchandise. Some people go on to trade the prizes for money at certain outlets (although this is technically illegal), and this element of gambling contributes to pachinko’s popularity.
