"Rai's gone!?" A voice came by.
"Yes, Toma-chan just came back to tell us, she wants to go after him..." Another voice...
"One problem after another...damn what is going on?!" Someone else said.
"Rai...you idiot! What the hell...what's going on..."
"He's...traveling...somewhere..." Someone else said...slightly weak.
"Kikyo-san!?" Several people yelled together. "Your okay!?"
"Yes... Rai's fine for now..." She answered
"Then where is he!?" Someone else yelled.
"He...left with someone...a girl?" Kikyo said.
"We have to go after him..." Someone else said... Toma?
"!!!" A cough, everyone looked over, I coughed up some blood.
"Dammit guys...I'm trying to die over here..." I said weakly, then I opened my eyes, they were glowing red.
"He's alive!" Kokoro said.
"Thank Toko your still around," Hiroshi said gesturing to him.
"Sorry man...I just found you out there, you were in horrible condition...you had frozen blood on your hands, plus your hair was a different color...and there were some weird marks..." He said.
I looked down at my hands, faint tattoos, dark symbols, my skin was pitch black on my right arm, but it was bandaged up.
"Hey Vathana?" I turned and then...
WHAM!!!! I got slapped across the face, hard, I felt my neck crack a bit.
I glared right at who had did it.
Hisa... she was glaring right back at me.
"...Well...?" I asked.
"Your an idiot, a complete and total dumbass! What the hell were you thinking?! We already have someone here who needs help, we don't need another person to die!" She said in anger.
"Tch..." I said, and then I looked down at my hands, bandaged...
Smack!!! I got punched this time.
"Hisa-chan stop it, yelling at Vathana-san isn't going to solve anything..." Akane said.
"Neither is hitting him..." Hiroshi said.
"He deserves it! what was he trying to accomplish!?" Hisa said.
"She's right..." I said looking back at everyone, eyes shifted a bit.
!!! "Crap..." My eyes hurt all of a sudden, and I looked at my hands... lines...and dots...
What!? No...did I lose control!? Dammit!!! No...go back!!! I thought, closing my eyes.
"Hey what's wrong?" Kokoro asked.
"Nothing...ah..." I said, then I took a deep breath, and opened my eyes again, no lines or dots...
"Let's go..." I said, and I got off the bed.
"Hey wait a second your still injured aren't you? Or at least sick?" Ray said getting ready to catch me if I fell over.
"I'm fine...tch..." I leaned on the wall briefly, then I tried walking over, but then my legs felt weak...
"Crap...move..." I ordered to my body, but it was refusing...
"Toma-san...?" I said.
"Yes?" She said.
"Can you....please lead me to where Rai disappeared?" I asked my hair covering my eyes as I bent my head a bit.
"A-Alright, but what about...?" She began.
"I'm fine..." I said.
Hiroshi and Toko ran over to me as I started to fall a bit, they grabbed me, and helped me to stand.
"Vathana-kun?" Kikyo began.
! I turned a bit.
"Your future...isn't really clear to me right now... so you might..." She began.
"Doesn't matter..." I answered. "Just means that...things should be more interesting for me..."
"...Haha, your a crazy kid aren't you?" She said.
"Probably," I answered.
"If your so determined to go, then let's move already," Hisa said angrily as she brushed by.
"Oi... Hisa-san," I said. She stopped but didn't turn around.
"Arigato Gozaimasu," I said, and Hiroshi and Toko helped me walk by her.
Toma lead the way, Kira, Ray, Renton, Akane, and Suchi-Ru followed behind.
"We're going to get ready, and we'll all meet at...West Rukongai 3rd district. Hokutan..." Toma said.
"Right..." We all answered.
A little while later... I was walking over to the District on my own...I passed by the hill, I stopped and looked over the place I was.
A crimson stain... I walked over and knelt next to it, I placed my hand on it, then it bursted it faded.
I closed my eyes, and then got up, and started walking again.
"Almost there..." I whispered, and got to Hokutan...
The Graveyard.
Everyone was already there, including Kikyo and Kirei.
"Kikyo-san? Should you really be up right now?!" I asked.
"I'm fine...besides Kirei volunteered to stay behind with me...we'll go after you as soon as I get a bit better...so don't you guys get your asses kicked got it!? Its an order." Kikyo said.
"Yes Ma-am," Some people answered.
"Right here..." Toma said leading me over to the crater.
I closed my eyes, then opened them again.
"What's he doing...?" Renton asked.
"Ah!" Kira said suddenly, everyone except me looked at her.
"What's wrong?" Kokoro asked.
"Its those eyes he told me about before," She said.
"Which are...?" Hiro asked.
"Magan (Mystic Eyes)..." I said opening my eyes, they glowed purple, and then a single ring surrounded my iris.
"What the hell!?" Toko said in surprise.
"You said eyes right?" Renton asked.
"Yes," Kira answered.
"He has more than one?" He asked.
"Hana-chan is a special case, he has more than just one type of Magan, so far I've only see 5 kinds. Waikyoku (Distortion), Refraction, Sokubaku (Binding), Enshou (Flame), and his personal favorite one..." Kirei said.
"Which is?" Akane asked.
"Chokushi no Magan," She said. "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. Aka. Demon Eyes of Instant Death..."
"What are the ones he's using now?" Hiro asked.
"I don't know...if I had to say, its another level of his eyes... Pure eyes I guess... Pure eyes, he's trying to perceive something we can't see..."
I looked around and then noticed it...a small rift in the air.
"Right there!" I spun Kirihime, and then slashed in an arc.
Jikuu Shouhazan!! (Chaos Distortion BLade!!) The rift opened up more, and a dark portal was in front of us.
"Damn... Hadachi's got game..." Kikyo said laughing.
I put one hand up to my eyes. "Done..." My eyes shifted back to normal...
"Let's go..." I said resheathing my Zanpakuto... "You guys lead the way..."
"Be careful everyone," Kirei said. Some people nodded.
We all entered the portal, I turned just before going in, and then I ran in...
Rescue Rai Arc...Do what you want...Sorry this is the best I've got for now...I don't feel as good as I'm supposed too. Sorry if I screwed up...
