When It Rains
“I love the rain… I always have really. Why one may ask. Well, for starters when it rains usually you can go outside and not worry about getting mobbed. That in and of itself is luxury. And then there is the way everything just seems cleaner after the rain.
Well, everything but me. No matter how long I stand in the rain or under the shower I just can’t seem to get clean anymore. Do you want to know why?… Because you ruined it… me… everything. It used to be rare that I’d ever feel dirty… but now I long for those days.
Do you remember that day? The beginning to all of this. It was raining then too… but that rain seemed wrong… like it was tainted… I really didn’t want to go out into that rain… oh how right I was.
It seemed like the perfect day, I woke up next to the only woman I’ve ever truly loved, not including my mother of course. She looked up at me with those big brown eyes adoringly then snuggled down into her pillow. I bent over and kissed her nose, then went to get us breakfast. When I called she came downstairs, happy as a lark. I couldn’t help but smile. She always did make me smile… Is that why you killed her? Because you couldn’t stand the thought of me being happy, or was it the thought of someone else making me happy? What did she ever do to you? Ok. So she would bark at you every now and then… but she would bark at everyone… it was her way of telling me someone was there. She was trying to look out for me.
Look at me, I’m crying again. You finally found something that makes me show emotion. Hehehe… Listen to me… I’m way off track. Right where was I?
It hadn’t actually started raining yet. So I decided to take Miyu for a walk. She was never as fond of the rain as I was. She didn’t like getting her pretty fur wet… then there was the fact that some of the puddles were big enough that she actually had to swim across. Halfway through our walk that awful rain started… I had a horrible feeling about it. My mother always told me to listen to my instincts. I just knew that if Miyu got wet something awful would happen. So I picked her up wrapped her in my jacket and took off running for home. I guess she still got some of that water on her. Now all that I left of her are her ashes… They are going to be buried with my ashes when my time comes.
When I got home my phone was ringing. I thought it was my parents or some other family member. Imagine my surprise when it was you. I hadn’t told anyone in the band my number yet not even our dear and loving leader-sama. I still wonder how you got a hold of it. I guess I’ll never know… you and your damn secrets. Oh well, you asked if I could come over. I really didn’t want to leave my apartment. I had just gotten a new puzzle book that was calling my name, as was my big comfy chair. All I wanted to do was curl up with a blanket around my shoulders, Miyu on my lap, a cup of hot tea beside me, and solve puzzles all day long. However you said it was an emergency and that you would make it worth my while if I came over. I thought why not; what harm could it do? Go over for a while, solve whatever little problem you were having, go home and take a hot bath.
Well, I would definitely need the bath when I got done at your house. When I got to your house the first thing I noticed was how dark it was. I thought that was odd. Normally you love the light. When I called out your name you told me to come on in you were in back. When I stepped into the living room something seemed off. I didn’t know what it was until it was too late.
You called for me to go to where you were, the bedroom. Had I been thinking past what is that odd smell I might have seen the request as a bad idea. However you seemed to be burning some new incense. Not entirely unheard of. I followed the sound of your voice and my nose trying to figure out what the scent was, it wasn’t unpleasant… just odd. When I got to your bedroom I didn’t see you. In fact in less that a minute I couldn’t see anything. Hell I wasn't even conscious.
When I came to you were sitting over me holding a pair of scissors. You cut past the hems of my clothes then tore them the rest of the way off. I will never forget the look of excitement on your face. You then proceeded to give me my first of many waxings… Do you know how much that hurt? All the while muttering something about how any boyfriend of yours was not going to have body hair.
Did you even realize that I was… well actually still am, going out with Die. Just because we were going out doesn’t mean we were doing anything, though. I wanted to wait until later in the relationship, when it was more stable. You blew that all to hell. Actually, you drove me right into his arms.
Poor Die, he knew someone was hurting me… but, I never did tell him who. It would have broken his heart. In the end though you just made us closer than ever. I know you wanted to see me crack but that wont happen. As long as I have someone to steady me you will never break me… NEVER…
Anyway, when you finished with that you pulled out a candle and some ice… god going from hot to cold then back again was a true pure hell. You told me tears had always been a turn on for you and took me… hard. That was the first time I had ever had anything like that done. I felt like I was being torn in two. I thought that there was no way a person could ever do that for fun… Die however showed me otherwise. I love it when he takes me… he’s always so gentle.
Now where was I again… I’m sorry I seem to have this bad habit of getting sidetracked… Oh right. That was the first day of “Our Relationship.” If that’s what it can even be called. It lasted for three long years.
Last month you killed her, my precious baby. I came home to find her dead on my bed with a black rose beside her with the needle and an empty poison bottle beside her. I cried for days, not even Die could comfort me.
Well now I get my revenge tonight… but I guess you already knew that. You always did look good in red. Even if you do like blue better… This is a very good look for you. Hopefully now that you’re not going to be here anymore I can feel clean again. Oh, look it’s raining, this seems to have come full circle… and that means it should take people even longer to find you. That thought makes me very happy. I hope you like the person you helped me become. Not that I give a damn for your opinion.”
“Shinya, come on stop talking to the corpse and lets set the fire so we can go. Die is waiting for us outside…we need to hurry so we’re gone by the time the smoke reaches the windows. Also, we still need to meet Ruki and Aoi for drinks so we have an alibi.”
“Alright Kyo… I just needed to get a few things off my chest. You’re right though. Lets go. I want to see Die.”
“Alright lover boy, lets get going…. Has anyone ever told you you’re creepy?”
“No… Thank you, though.”
