A Curse or a Blessing?

Chapter 1: Beginnings
A girl named Rain was on her way to the local bar, to see
her boyfriend. She hadn't seen him for three days, due to an important mission.
She missed him badly. As she walked into the Bar, he looked up and noticed her.
He came running towards her with outstretched arms crying “Rain!”
She smiled as he hugged her. "Hiyo" she says casually.
"I missed you" he says still clutching on to her. "I missed you
too" she says blushing. "Hey, would you like a drink" he offers.
"Nah, I am fine.” she replies smiling. "Alright" he says
continuing to serve other customers.
After his shift was over they walked home, asking the usual
questions. But he kept looking at his right shoulder for some reason. Finally
she asked. “What’s wrong with your shoulder?” she asked innocently. “It’s nothing.” He replies. As if those were
magical words, he winces sharply in pain. “Something is wrong, isn’t it Rai?”
she stated. “Yeah, something is.” He replies, rolling up his shirt sleeve to
reveal a tiny black mark on his shoulder. “I kinda did this to myself while no
one was around. I think I still have some of the solution.” “Ah,” She says
studying the mark closely. He then hands her a small vile. “I created the mark
using this.” He says. “Interesting…Do you mind if I study this more closely?”
She asked. “Not at all.” He says.
The next day around the time Rai was on break, Rain came
into the bar. “Rai,” She said urgently. “We need to talk” she said gazing at
him. They both headed into the back to talk. “Rai, what you have made is some
kind of poison….”she stated simply. “A-a poison ?” He asked dryly. “Is that why
I am suffering?” he asked, his face, parch white. “Yes, it would seem so.” She
replied. He then doubles over in pain, clutching his shoulder. “C-can you make
an antidote?” he asks his voice faint. “Hang on. I think I can relieve some of
the pain.” She says laying her hands over the mark. Green chakra flows around
the mark, subsiding most of the pain. “Try to relax it a little” she says.
“Thanks.” He says gratefully. “I probably shouldn’t have copied that; I guess…”
he said sheepishly. “What are you talking about Rai?” she asks, curious. “I was
trying to make Orochimaru’s Curse Mark formula. I thought I had it down, but it
looks like I failed and ended up poisoning myself” he said explaining to Rain. “Rai,
you probably shouldn’t have even messed with that stuff, its evil…” she said
somberly. “ I know I shouldn’t have messed with that sort of thing, but I feel
like I need to know what made it so powerful.” He said with an evil looking
smile. “In fact, you could say that I want to know all about his work, and use
it to better uses.” He says with the evil smile growing. He then regains his
composure, “I just want to know…” he says, his eyes filled with earning. She
sits there silently, with a grim look on her face. “I see…” she says
warily. His face suddenly shows concern.
“I am sorry did I scare you Rain?” he asks. “Just a little.” She replies, her
voice mixed with fear. Rai sighs. “I am sorry; I don’t know what came over me.” He explains as he
sits on a stool in the back. “But there is one thing I do
know, someone or something wants me to find out that formula. Maybe I've got
another personality that wants to find out at all costs. I don't know anymore.”
He says sighing again. Rain walks over to him, and gently hugs him. “If you
need help, I am here.” She says reassuringly. He smiles and hugs her back.
“Thank you, but first things first. I need this poison removed.” He says softly
as he faints in her arms.
“Kisuke?!” she says try to wake him up.
“Kisuke? Is that what he allows himself to be called?” says a dark voice coming
from Rai. Rai’s hair starts to spike up. “And just who are you?” says the man
that seems to have taken over Rai. “I-I am Rain” she says backing up slowly.
“Oh yes, you are the one he keeps talking about.” The man sneers. He sits down
on a stool. “Oh, where are my manners. I am Uramiar.” He says, bowing. “Hello
Uramiar.” Rain says nervously. Uramiar then quickly appears behind Rain. “I can see why he likes you. Kind, caring, and
those eyes. So deep and full of wonder.” He says running a hand through Rain’s
hair. Rain smiles nervously and blushes. “Yes, a real catch, too bad though.”
He continues. “You see here is my problem with you, because Raimaru is worried
about he can't focus on what I'm telling him to do so he gets mixed up and
creates the wrong thing.” He says walking around to her. “He may have dyslexia
but I think mixing up cobra venom with cobra scales is a bit much.” Ura says
frowning at a sheet of paper. “Is that what he did?” Rain says regaining her
composure a little. “Yes, a mistake during work. I was talking him through the
whole thing but I was stopped when I thought of you popped into his head.” Ura
says frowning some more, and throwing a box of chemicals and ingredients to
Rain. “And because you messed him up you have to make it.” Ura says glaring
darkly at Rain.
“Yes sir! I will get right on it!” Rain says with fear in her
eyes, and in her voice. “Well at least she is true to what I said about her.”
He says shifting back to Rai. “Ow, head rush.” Rai complains, holding his head.
“Oh, welcome back Rai.” Rain says blinking in surprise. “Was I somewhere?” he
asks seeing Rain messing with some stuff. “What you are doing?” he asks
curiously. “I am working on the antidote.” she replies simply. “Great thanks.
Is something wrong?” he asks. “Nope.” Rain says continuing to work. “Okay” Rai
says looking through some of his things. “Hey, Rain. Some of my stuff has gone
missing, namely stuff for that formula I was trying to make but I guess you
disposed of it.” He says frowning slightly. “Oh yeah, sorry Rai.” She says
apologetically. “No, you wanted me to get rid of that stuff anyway.” He
replies. “Mhmm…Okay, I think I am done.” Rain says smiling. “Here you go Rai”
she says handing Rai the antidote. “Thanks Rain” Rai says injecting himself
with the antidote. “I fell a bit woozy.” Rai says his eyes loosing focus.
Rai’s hair once again spikes up, “You
did good.” Ura says. “Thank you.” Rain says bowing. “Yeah, now if you could get
the formula right, we would be squared away.” He says smiling evilly. “What do
you mean?” Rain asks. “The formula that my other half was working on. Project
CS.” Ura says, handing Rain some paperwork. “It's all there, notes, how to make
the thing even a list of what to use.” He says. Rain quickly scans through the
papers. “Okay” she says. “Trust me, do this I won't pop in for sometime. Oh yes
and one last thing…. You have to test it.” He says darkly. “O-okay” she says,
her voice trembling slightly. “Great, I'll be going now. And remember you can't
tell him.”
