watching a storm

*he sood at the beach part of the ocean looking and watching the storm that was brewing all around him*
"this is elemental power..."
*it was raining hard with thunder and violent winds blowing his hair everywhere but he was still standing there*

Kat appeared behind Raku and said "Life sucks as it is, why spend it alone?"

*he was startled* "true but if you spend life alone you cant loose anyone close to you"

"But if you spend your life alone then you can't protect those close to you!" Kat said with her trademark smirk "You never know unless you give people a chance you know." She ruffled Raku's hair "Would rather have memories of those close to you or memories of sorrow and loneliness?"

*he smirked* "you always have good points...and most my memories are sorrowful"

Kat stared at him while, pondering what sort of memories the boy had. She would not ask about them because it truly was none of her concern. "Well that's why you should hang onto the good memories so they block out the bad ones. Eh what do I know anyway? I am a after all, a psychotic freak!" She chuckled quietly to herself.

*he told this to himself in his head* you dont know the half of it "heh ive only had like 2 good memories"

Kat grinned, she was glad that he had two to hang onto "What I be nosy if I asked you who the memories are of?"

"they are from when my parents were around"

"My parents threw me out because I had two demons sealed inside of me..." Kat muttered, more to herself then anyone else. She stood there, gazing off into the distance, not noticing that she had a lonely expression on her face. "Did your parent's treat you nice?" Kat asked solemnly.

"yes....they did" *a tear dropped from his eyes and was lost in the rain*

Unknown to Raku, Kat saw the tear. She placed her hand gently upon his shoulder "I was being insensitive, I apologize. It really was none of my concern..." Kat said quietly, wishing she could do something to help the poor boy. "Is there anything, I can do?" She asked.

"its ok this is the second time i have cried since they died...and i dont think you can do anything for me"

"That's not true, perhaps I can..." Kat whispered, and she fished around in her pocket and pulled out a chocolate bar and handed it to Raku with a grin "Take it, chocolate makes everything better or at least it should!"

*he took half of the bar* "you can have that half"

Kat looked at the bar of rich, bittersweet chocolate and bit gently into it. After a moment she said "You know, life is kind of like chocolate. It has it's bitter moments but it also has it's sweet moments, don't you think?"

"and what would you call eating chocolate in the middle of a storm with me?"

"A taste of heaven, very sweet!" Kat said with a tiny grin "What would you call it?"

"sweet" *he didnt say what he wanted to say*

Kat could tell that Raku wanted to say something else "Yeah what else is on your mind, tell me!" She begged, for she was extremely nosy (extremely is an understatement)

*he looked her hn the eyes* "too sweet for me"

"Too sweet for you? Did I do something wrong??" Kat asked with concern "I'm sorry if I did..."

*he smiled* "no its sweeter than i deserve"

Kat just stood there looking at him "Listen, you're an extremely nice boy, and you accept me for who I am. It is me who doesn't deserve this moment." She whispered.

*he messed with her wet hair* "whatever you say"
