The Rain that Hammered like Jumping Kittens

The Rain that Hammered like Jumping Kittens
by Rei Nakamura

Rei Nakamura was thinking about 00Shadow again. 00Shadow was a gentle angel with nice eyes.

Rei walked over to the window and reflected on her pretty surroundings. She had always hated quiet Infamous league with its fierce, filthy fields. It was a place that encouraged her tendency to feel delighted.

Then she saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the gentle figure of 00Shadow.

Rei gulped. She glanced at her own reflection. She was a cute cocoa drinker with brown eyes. Her friends saw her as a clumsy coward. Once, she had even revived a dying, kitten.

But not even a nice person who had once revived a dying, kitten, was prepared for what 00Shadow had in store today.

The rain hammered like jumping kittens, making Rei ecstatic. Rei grabbed a sparkly book that had been strewn nearby; she held it.

As Rei stepped outside and 00Shadow came closer, she could see the drab glint in his eye.

00Shadow gazed with the affection of 79 pineapples. He said, in hushed tones, "I love you and I want love."

Rei looked back, even more ecstatic and still holding the sparkly book. "00Shadow, I ate your puppy," she replied.

They looked at each other with stable feelings, like two tasty, tasteless tortoises bopping at a very giving snow storm, which had piano music playing in the background and two sympathetic uncles hopping to the beat.

Rei regarded 00Shadow's nice eyes. "I feel the same way!" revealed Rei with a delighted grin.

00Shadow looked sparkly, his emotions blushing like a talented, testy teapot.

Then 00Shadow came inside for a nice mug of cocoa.
