Sho Sakurai stood outside the hospital with his arms crossed and his head down. He said nothing and made no motion appearing more like a statue that beloved there rather than a person simply sitting there. Matsu was returned and his healing....Aoi has returned as Emiko... Nino's fixing a fractured soul.... Ohno's using his cunning again.... Aiba is growing stronger...Both Demons and Angels have appeared... It seems this place has become an interesting point in the war.... The brown haired bear man sighed outwards and resumed his statue-like picturesque look. "Who is there?" the dark haired man's voice was caustic in nature, and his hand extend to form an Anti-Tank gun within his fingers.
"I came to see a friend of course, Sho-kun...." a liquid voice answered back as the teal haired woman appeared from around the corner.
"Ame...." Sho answered his own thoughts aloud, and in that moment, his Anti-Tank gun disappeared into the air as if it had never been there to begin with.
"I see the Council has summoned everyone here," Ame crossed her arms before her stomach and looked at the brown haired man with a calm yet unnerving eye. The dark brown haired man said nothing but simply nodded after a moment. "Is everyone here?"
"And then some," Sho answered back looking somewhat inwards. He had watched as Aiba, Elle, Aine, and Ohno had entered the area without even noticing him. It was his power of nature to be rather well unseen anyways. "How are you, Ame?" Sho asked aloud.
"Angry, worried, and hopeful," Ame answered back. "I had no idea that..." she breathed outwards releasing the cross of her arms and then looking straight at Sho. "Where is Aoi?"
"Her name is Emiko, and Nino has threatened certain death to anyone that calls her that," Sho answered back causing Ame to blink a moment. After a moment, the teal haired woman looked away. Her face turned suddenly very sharp and irritated.
"So that damn Emo is here too?" Ame said shaking her head a moment and not saying anything more.
"I nodded when you asked if we were all here... indeed Nino is one of us, and you know this, Ame," Sho sighed back at Ame with a calm stare. The teal haired woman made a motion to step forwards but then chose to step back again as if unsure whether or not she wanted to enter the hospital. After a moment, she just turned back and stared at Sho.
"I also heard that Matsu-sama was badly injured as well..." the teal haired woman's face went suddenly very red and averting her eyes a fraction.
"Indeed... he was taken back from the demon realm with a missing eye.. he is far worse a condition than Emiko at the moment, but they say he is doing better now that he is fully sleeping," Sho sighed outwards causing a suddenly very panicked look to come over Ame.
The teal haired woman looked at the hospital again and then back at Sho who simply nodded back. Nodding to herself, Ame suddenly brushed past Sho and started running into the hospital. Matsu-sama..... the teal haired woman thought to herself as she continued running into the elevator using more of her impulse to find the white haired man's room. Seizing the door open, Ame stared inwards to find Nino sitting in the chair by Matsu's bed as the white haired man slept peacefully with the bandages all the way up his face. Ame's eyes grew, and with one sharp arm, Ame seized the collar of Nino's shirt and forced him to stand punching the dark haired man square across the face.
"You stupid Emo what the hell did you do?" Ame leered at Nino so sharply that she nearly missed the fading smile on the dark haired man's face. However, he eye caught it at the last moment causing a fraction of confusion to take the teal haired woman's face for a fraction of a moment.
"Nothing..." the dark haired man said nothing more as he averted the eyes of the teal haired woman. "I didn't do anything...."
"You did something," Ame answered back all but dragging Nino out of Matsu's room and closing the door behind him. "How could you let this happen you stupid Emo," Ame continued suddenly bringing her hand up as if to smack Nino upside the face. However, in that moment, Nino seized Ame's wrist.
"I did nothing," Nino leered back so sharply that Ame forze in her staring at the dark haired man. "Hiawai harmed Matsu. Not me." The dark haired man was now leering back at Ame who finally averted her eyes and sighed outwards. Nino shook his head and looked at the door that had closed as they went out.
"Matsu-sama has lost an eye, then because you did nothing?" Ame challenged, but suddenly the teal haired woman felt a smack go to her face. She forze as Nino rubbed his knuckles.
"Matsu lost an eye because Hiawai ripped it out of him. I wasn't in the demon realm, and there was nothing I could do. He's back, and he's safe. If you try one more damn attack at me, Ame, I will break all of your fingers."
Ame fell silent and didn't reply. Instead, she crossed her hands over her stomach and sighed outwards. "Sorry then," she sighed to herself and said nothing.
"What has brought you here, Ame?" Nino challenged darkly causing the teal haired woman to look back at dark haired man before her.
"The Council of course," she answered back looking at him with a cool stare. Nino nodded a fraction but said nothing more. Instead, the dark haired man looked off and continued to keep his silence. He's changed.... Ame found herself staring at the dark haired man for a few seconds. Over the years, I guess... The teal haired woman looked back to the door of Matsu's room. "And because I heard about Aoi.... and then when I got here and heard about Matsu-sama...." Suddenly finding the dark haired man staring caustically at her, Ame simply leered back. "I'm not here to fight you, Nino, but don't think I won't kick your ass if you keep me from seeing Emiko."
A weird chuckle seemed to escape the dark haired man that caused Ame to freeze. "Everyone's so interested in something that should be left alone," Nino leered directly at Ame causing the woman's eyes to grow a moment and then narrow again. "I won't stop you from seeing Emiko... but if you call her Aoi or make any references what so ever... don't think I won't kill you Ame."
Ame found herself even more frozen than before as she stared at the dark haired man before her. He'd kill me? was the question that came to the teal haired woman's mind. Such big words for some stupid Emo.... "Fine," Ame answered back crossing her arms again and looking directly back at him. "I'm here to meet Emiko. Not Aoi. Happy, Nin-chan?"
What happened next, not even Ame was aware would happen. The dark haired man seemed to suddenly and very violently smack his forehead. "NOT CHAN!" Nino's voice roared, and suddenly the dark haired man had seized what could only be described as a medical pole and was chasing the teal haired woman who was running away desperately. "Crap! Ok ok not chan not chan! God! Emo! Quit it!" Ame yelled as she continued to run away from the dark haired man chasing her and still trying to smack her with the medical pole.

Matsu opened his one eye and found himself lying in bed and staring up at a white ceiling. The pain on one side of his face was dulled, yet it was there none the less. Monitor sounds caused the white haired man's eye to move a fraction and stare at the light up images near him. M.... Nino? Matsu's eye trailed the room, yet he didn't find the dark haired man in sight. I guess... it was just a dream.... The white haired man sighed outwards as his hand reached up from under the bed sheets and touched the right side of his face. The white haired man froze as the touch of gauze came on his fingers like strangely sharp glass.
Suddenly sitting up sharply in the bed despite the fact that several monitors were shoved around and out of the way, the white haired man continued to run his fingers along the gauze of his bandages. My eye.... my eye.... Matsu could only sit in bed and thing these things over and over again. I... that... Hiawai.... The words rushed through the white haired man's mind, yet he could barely process them correctly. The images of the knife coming towards his eye had set the white haired man on edge.
Looking around the room with his one good eye, Matsu felt his nails digging into the gauze around his other. Slowly... slowly digging their way to the point the white haired man could feel blood moving down his fingers. Nino.... where is he....why am I alone again? However, in that half second, a nurse seemed to appear and stare in the room as if in shock to see what he was doing. Matsu looked her unnerved as the woman rushed forwards and began to force him back on the bed.
"I just want to... see my...." Matsu began, yet the woman continued to order him back down and to take his hand away as she began to fix the bandages again. "I just want....." Matsu tried again as the woman commented more irritatedly about the fact he shouldn't even be awake yet. All the white haired man could do was be forced back and lie on the bed again staring at the ceiling. "I just want...." Matsu tried but finally fell silent as his hand rested on the sheets and the nurse went over him.

Still on my writing spaz, sorry >>;
If you can't guess why the title is The Rain, Ame means rain in Japanese, and I found it only fitting that was the title.
