Rainy stalked around the streets, sniffing the air. After a while, she picked up a scent. It came from deep inside a nearby alleyway, and the host was none other than an otter. "Hello there, I'm Rainy." She said this bluntly, a malevolent grin on her face. The man, dressed in a dark suit trembles. "You....You're that tiger, aren't you?!" he asked fearfully, beads of sweat running down his forehead. Rainy chuckled to herself, before flinging her katana at his head, the blade piercing the skull and the tip appearing out from the other side. He fell to his knees, still conscious, miraculously. He blinks at Rainy, his life slipping away from his grasp. "You.... " And with that final word, he falls flat on his face, the katana still submerged. Rainy yanks back at the chain, a pleased look on her face. But inside, she feels different. Like she's been changed. Oh well. She simply decides to eat him anyway, devouring every last morsel, right down to his bones. Nothing is left, but a stink of rancid blood and flesh. Rainy's clothes are dyed a crimson red, her legs streaked with fresh blood. She wipes at her mouth with her long sleeves and taps on the only door in the alleyway. The woman that appears at the door, obviously a waitress folds her arms impatiently at the state of Rainy. She's young; in her late thirties. "Well, it's little Kaede. What are you doing here then you waste?" She stops and laughs. "Oh I see. You want to HURT me? To kill me? Rainy glares at her. It's her mother. Prudence. "Of course. I've been practicing." Prudence snorts. "You'll never be able to take me on and win you little shit." Prudence dips her hand inside her waistband and brings out a small notepad. "Organize a date and time. If you win, you'll be free from your contract." "And if I lose?" "You'll be forced to work harder and longer. No matter what condition you are in. You'll also lose everything you have and own." "Tomorrow. At 8pm. Don't miss it." Prudence laughs. "That's my girl." She slams the door in Rainy's face. Rainy trudges out from the alleyway, still on the hunt. Occassionally, she would glance in the windows of shops and cafe's, sighing at the families eating and having fun inside. Her mother was abusive and cruel, abandoning her to go clubbing, only to come back home and beat her child to a bloody pulp. That's ONE reason why she wanted to kill her mother so much. 8pm was the exact time she was sold off.

ooc: Going to shower. So....Don't rp too much. I COMMAND IT! X3

Hana-shi couldn't sleep that night. He just walked around in bado form. Bored and alone. "shien you ill kill you again thanks to u I'm this thing"

Rainy's eyes had a gleam that wasn't entirely right. Her eyes, normally a dark brown, almost black, was a lighter shade, the pupils dilated. But all the same, she continued her hunt, unaware that her gang was out to find her. But all in vain. Rainy blacked-out at 2am, in front of a shabby looking house, 30 miles from her home town. How she walked that far nobody knew. It was just instinct that drove her there; to search out and kill her victims. But alas, otters and deer were clever. They KNEW all about Rainy, and how she would go out frequently to kill and eat their kind. They set up an alliance towards other big-cat locket users, Rainy being the main target. That's why Rainy couldn't find as many prey as she would have found 2 months ago. That's why she was always so hungry. Not enough food to sustain her. She had to resort to eating another species now. She slept peacefully outside the house, curled up in a neat ball. Still half-asleep, she felt hands wrap around her, and carry her somewhere. She could feel those same hands inspect her ankle, where her number of purchase resided, and those arms that were carrying her place her on something soft. Murmurs from some people. The arms lift her again, and place her on the cold, unforgiving pavement, right outside that house again. Maybe they couldn't give her a bed for the night; somewhere to stay. 3 hours passed, and atlast, Rainy woke. "I'm hungry...." Rainy face lit up suddenly, and she reached into her back pocket, where she took out a flask. It was hot water mixed with some crushed bone powder; nutrients that helped to maintain a healthy diet if food is not available. But that wasn't enough. She had to find some fresh meat. Rainy, now fully energized pulled out her blood stained katana and started to walk slowly towards the household, a string of saliva dripping from the corner of her mouth. She taps the door, once, twice. A kind old woman opens up the door, smiling. "Oh, hello there dear." She glances anxiously at Rainy's locket. "You can kill me, I'm getting too old to hide anymore." Two children peeped out from behind their grandmother. Rainy gasped. Nobody has ever been that willing to die. But she shook her head. "It's okay ma'am." She reached out and patted one of the children on the head, a gentle smile on her face. "You look after your nana, okay?" She chuckled lightly, and leapt onto a low roof, before leaping into the darkness. She was starving now, and decided that it would be wise to return to her own home now. Along the way through the town, she passed a large group of people, drunk from late night partying. She sniffed the air. 5 members of the lemur species, a spectacled bear, and a Red deer. Oh this was going to be a feast. But she had to pick out her victims carefully, so that nobody runs off. Oddly enough, they form a straight line. Too easy. But it wasn't as it seemed. They all split up, and ran off. They knew she was there. She had underestimated them. Rainy began the chase, first targeting the Red deer. It was hiding by a housing area, a likely place. Rainy tracked the person down, right outside people houses. This deer had a good jump. The person, dressed in a very trendy style, leapt over a fence into somebodie's garden. Rainy took a running leap, to which the fight began. A series of growls, roars and whines came from the garden, as Rainy decided to go with the old-fashioned method. The deer, eventually was worn out, and was panting on the grass. "Please....Don't...."

Vincent woke up when Cloud's cell phone went off. He whacked Cloud with a pillow before saying, "Hey Cloud. Wake up. Your cell is ringing." He slumped into a corner yawning. "Who would phone at a time like this?" Cloud yawned. He rubbed his eyes before picking up the cell. "Hey. Do you know what time it is?! Never mind, just get on with it." He paused to listen to what 6 had to say. "Ok. I'll go look for her. Bye." He put his phone in his pocket. "Vincent, we gotta go look for Rainy." He said. "What, now?" Vincent asked, sleepily. "Yeah." Cloud said, walking over to Justin. "Hey Justin. Wake up sleepy head." Justin woke up. "Ugh..." He sat up. "My head hurts." "Go and have a shower. It'll help." Cloud said gently, ruffling Justin's hair. Justin got up and padded into the bathroom. He turned the shower on. The water poured over him. It was cool and refreshing. When he had finished, he put on a black t-shirt, black jeans and a gray hoodie. He went back into Cloud's bedroom. "Let's go." Cloud said. They ran out of the door. Cloud took out his pocket knife and it transformed into his sword. He hitched it onto his back and hopped onto his motor-bike. "Hurry up." He said impatiently. Justin and Vincent jumped into the sidecar. Cloud revved up the bike and they sped into town.

Rainy confronted the man, her katana swinging from it's chain. She draws it up to her face, and in a split second, the blade speeds towards his head, but falls with a 'thunk' onto the grass. Rainy dropped it on purpose. "You know what? I'm not going to kill you this way; it's too predictable." Rainy muttered, getting into a stance. She ripped the locket off of her neck and in an instant, went to her 3rd form. The guy, now fearing the worst leaps into action, going into one of his own forms and leaping over the fence out onto the pavement. This guy is putting up a hard fight. But Rainy was exhuasted, and let him run off. Too much excitement for one night. But she needed the energy; the food. She leapt onto the fence, it creaking under her tiger weight. "I need something to EAT...." she muttered, wiping her mouth of unwanted blood stains using her cat-tongue. She had to try something....Maybe somebody she knew lived close by? If so... Maybe she could beg a few scraps off of them? Too risky. But she had to try SOMETHING. She padded down the street, looking for a likely subject to beg off of. What was she doing? She's a TIGER for God's sake. She can't just go about begging like a stray dog. Rainy realized this, and immediatley changed forms. Her first, took on the form of a tiger cub. Perfect. Nobody could resist the charm and cuteness. She clawed at a door, waiting for a response. Milk. Second door. Milk. Third door. More milk. Every door she went to would have a person offering milk, but she would turn her nose up at it. She turned back into her 3rd form and roared in distress, obviously annoyed with the ridiculous amounts of milk.

"take a bite out of me then it will grow back in a few minutes!" bado said to rainy

"Guys, keep a lookout for Rainy. She could be anywhere." Cloud said. It was difficult to hear him over the sound of the bike. "What?" Vincent yelled. "I can't hear you. Speak up." "I said, KEEP A LOOKOUT FOR RAINY. SHE COULD BE ANYWHERE!!!" Cloud yelled. He paused. "Hey. Is Justin asleep?" Vincent poked Justin. "Yep." "Well, I guess it's up to us." Cloud said. "Cloud! Look out!" Vincent yelled. Cloud managed to swerve out the way of the tree. "Man, that was close. Next time keep your eyes on the road." Vincent said.

Rainy grunted derisively, still in her 3rd form. If she changed to human now, she would be....well, exposed. And not in the way that you think. Yep, she'll be completely bare. Well, not entirely; she'll still be wearing her underclothes. But she was still starvingly hungry, and managed to snatch a few morsels off of a kitchen table in an empty house. She clawed at the door gently, asking for something to eat in tiger speech, as she couldn't speak the human tongue without her bell.

ooc: Shortest post today so far XD I'm so proud of myself XD

"Any sign of her Vincent?" Cloud asked. You could tell he was worried by the tone of his voice. "Nope." Vincent replied, absent-mindedly. "Are you playing a video game on my phone?" Cloud growled. "Cos if you are, there'll be trouble." Vincent dropped Cloud's phone into the side-car. "No." "Good. Keep looking." "Man, I've never seen him this worked up since Tifa passed away." Vincent thought. His eyes scanned the horizon. "Wait Cloud, I see her." The bike skidded to a halt and Cloud jumped off the bike. Vincent got out of the side-car. "What, you just gonna leave Justin in there unprotected?" Vincent said. Cloud growled in an irritated way before carrying Justin out of the side-car. He walked over to Bado, Kazuki and Rainy. "There you are Rainy." He said. "We've been looking all over for you."

The black mercedes revved up into the street, parking very badly in front of Kazuki's house where everybody was standing. The tall guy stumbled out from the car, a bottle of wine in his hand, obviously hung-over. And guess what? That was the guy driving. The car was all beaten up, with streaks of mud and grime running down the sides along with deep scratches. He swore angrily, placing the bottle on top of the car before opening the back door and collapsing on top of the passengers at the back, including 6. He shoved him off delicately, before clambering out of the car along with everybody else in it. 6 wiped at his brow fiercely, before taking out a flannel from a small satchel and wiping his face with it. "WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING ALL NIGHT." he barked, grabbing Rainy by the scruff of her neck and looking her right in her eyes. Trash guy leaned against the lampost that the car had driven into. "We ran out of gas, stopped off to buy some stuff at tescos, before realizing that we didn't have ENOUGH gas, and had to drive 30 miles back to the nearest gas station. Thanks to Mr. Brightguy over there," Mr. Smartass sighed. "It's too late anyway." Everybody looked in horror at him. "She's already managed to kill 2 people, and counting."

Mr.Smartass ran his fingers through his hair lazily. "It's funny you should think that actually; after all, you're a freak yourself." 6 undid the locket around Rainy's neck suddenly, and dropped it into his pocket. By undoing the locket, Rainy would go back into her human-state. And she did. She stood there, in full clothing (Thank God), her brow furrowed in anger. Her eyes were harsh and bloodshot, her face a scowl. Rainy had a reasonably bad temper, only letting it loose when she felt like it. Unfortunately, that was often. Her hand darted forwards, and just as she was about to slap 6, her head turned towards a nearby hedge. That guy she was chasing had bobbed back into view, and she could smell it. He most likely lived around that area. Typical. This place had SO many fences, which members of the deer species loved. It helped keep bigger predators out. Rainy didn't even glance at the guy. All she did, was fling her katana at his head, the chain attached to it still in her hand. He deftly avoided it. But Rainy had another trick up her sleeve, and flicked her wrist to the left. The blade lodged itself in the side of his head, instantly killing him. "That's breakfast sorted..." Rainy muttered, pulling back on the chain, dragging the dead body back with it. She flung the corpse over her back and dumped it in the boot of the car, before everybody piled in. "Take it home and leave it on the table. Nobody touch it. I have some unfinished business."

Mr. Smartass rolled down the window and stuck his head out. "In your ear." He swept his hands back through his hair. "I've put a thought listening device. Your thoughts are heard as high-frequency vibrations, which I can interpret with ease." He stuck his hand out, and a small bug like creature crawled out from kazuki's ear and onto the palm of his hand. He crushed it, grounding it into a fine dust before sprinkling it on the wind. 6 snorted derisively as he placed his hand on the gear stick and revved off, the car screeching around the corner. Rainy blinked, finally returning back to her normal self. She yawns, extremely tired from last nights escapades and leans on the bent lampost. "Hey can I use your bathroom Kazuki?" She rubs at her eyes lazily. She yawns again, and looks around at everybody, smiling wearily.

"Oh great it's 9 o'clock school time" bado said "can I have my ear clasps back rainy."

Rainy fumbled in her pocket for Bado's ear clasps, and much to her surprise, she fished out a small packet of tablets instead. She hurriedly stuffs them back in, before fumbling around in her other pocket, to which she finds the ear clasps. She hands them over politely, a little wry smile on her face.

ooc: Wheeeeeee~ Another shortie!

" ummm how the f*** am I meant to put them back on no thumbs, just paw remeber!"

Justin woke up. "Did we find Rainy?" He asked, yawning. "Oh and you can put me down now." Cloud put Justin down. "Yeah we found her." He walked into Kazuki's house. Vincent and Justin followed him. Justin saw Bado fumbling around with his ear clasps. He walked over to Bado and picked up the ear clasps. He clipped them onto Bado's ears and Bado turned back into Hana-shi. "Do you have any crisps Kazuki? Or chocolate cake? Or cookies?" Vincent asked. His stomach growled. "I'm hungry."

Rainy hurried into the bathroom, narrowley missing the overhead lighting, which was hanging quite low down. She shut the toilet lid and sat on it, tapping the keys on her little phone. She stared down in utter horror at 2 bleak words on the phone screen. 'Sunny's dead'. Sunny was sold off also, to another group of men and women, so she could become a little house-maid of all work. But her mother had tracked her down as soon as she got the call from the group that bought her, saying that Sunny had refused to do a certain 'job'. Being enraged, Prudence tracked her daughter, Rainy's twin sister down and killed her for being so lazy. A bullet to the head. But it wasn't that that killed her. It was the fact that her mother had raised her and Rainy so badly, then selling them off. In her final moments, she suffered a major heart-attack and passed away, finally realizing the damage her mother had inflicted. Rainy blinked rapidly, trying to stop the tears. But down they came, splashing onto the floor of the bathroom. Rainy wiped at her eyes fiercely, making them go slightly red. "Sunny...." she muttered quietly, before smiling to herself. Rainy never had the strength or guts to fight her mother, but now she had enough hate, enough anger in her to fuel her for tonight. This was the night that her mother would die. In shame. Just like her father. She padded downstairs, and put on a brave face. "Thank you for letting me use your bathroom," she smiled, playing with her plaits childishly. Rainy faced Cloud. "Thanks for finding me! I often wander further than I should do..." Rainy had the greatest false smile on her face ever. What a brave child.

Hana-shi stood next to rainy and whispered in her ear " don't try to hide things from me I can see the past and the future. They may not see it but i do and a word of advice watch out for a pair of gold eyes, a lion and a gun of pure silver. Together they may end your life!"

" I'm just warning him to keep alert."

Rainy nibbled at the slice she was offered politely. She often couldn't stomache ordinary food, but she did try her best. In fact, she could taste each individual ingredient, and kept note of it inside her mind. Amazingly enough, the only food she could keep down was sweet food. But the only sweet food she'd ever tried was a little tart that her mother made when she was still sane. Rainy swallowed slowly, afraid she might puke it up infront of everybody. Total cringe. But no. Instead, she began to nibble at it ferociously, licking off any crumbs on her fingers afterwards with her pointed tongue. "That was....amazing." Rainy gasped, still licking off any remaining crumbs. She paused, mid-lick, and made a break for the sitting room, positioning herself on the floor in front of the tv.

ooc: Feeling sick :(
