(To make things easier, everything in the past DIDN'T happen. I'm starting over with Brandon, Valkyrie and Nen. Xion still remained 'known' in the area.
However, Brandon is to remain blind, as per discussed three/four months ago. ;D)
The boy with the gray hair sat on the steps outside the entry hall, the large building made of brick stone beckoned him. His back straightened as he looked into the darkened sky with his sunglasses on, his stiff face began to brightened up as the echoes and sounds of the the rain drops entered his ears.
The rain always brings a good mood to me, He thought to himself as he smiled, looking towards nothingness. I just hope it would never stop... but then it would ruin the cycle of nature, wouldn't it?
He closed his eyelids as he just sat on the stone steps, listening to the rain and the wind. He hummed a tune lightly as he just sat there, waiting for the rain to stop. He couldn't continue on if it doesn't stop...

Jade came walking up the yard, she was in a very good mood. She rarely went outside but since it was dark the sun didn't bother her much. Feuer had been a idiot lately, but after what happened that night she wasn't sure if she could forgive him. The rain and the dreariness had improved her mood.
She headed for the school and stopped. The boy sitting on the stairs looked new. "Umm…do you want to come in out of the rain?"

He looked back at where the sound came from. He couldn't quite catch the source of the voice like he used to because of the rain, but he was sure that whoever asked him 'to come in' was nice... at least she sounded like nice. He had his share of misfortune because of being too trusty in the past. The boy smiled at whoever had welcomed him into the building, and he picked up his metal shod cane beside him.
Using the cane to guide himself, he made sure that he wouldn't step on the edge of each of the steps, successfully reaching the silent hall.
"Thanks for the invitation, miss." His voice weak, solemn and young, with a hint of sorethroat. "As you can see, I can't see you. So could you... speak again?" His right hand holding his cane as he waited for a response.

Jade's eyes grew wide. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize." She blsuehd slightly for she had never met a blind person before. "I'm Jade, I'm a teacher her?"

Malachi strolled up, the rain just phasing through his formless body. His hands were in the pockets of the gray overcoat he wore, not but a few shades lighter than his black skin. He was watching the ground, looking for little animals that were caught out in the rain so he could stomp on them. So far, he hadn't found so much as a drowning worm, which only served to feul his horribly bad mood.
Malachi gracefully jumped up the front steps, eyes still on the wet ground. When he saw that someone was in his way, he quickly phased past them. Before he took another step, his arm shot back behind him from out of his pocket and knocked down the poor fool who had stood in his way. He grinned slightly as he heard the wet thump of the person hitting the ground.
Not standing now, is he?

Jade gasped and rushed to the boy's aid. "d**n it, Malachi, get outta here." She could feel her heart beating a little faster. She hadn't seen him since the incident. "I'm so sorry, he's an idiot."

"You're acting as if it's a felon to knock down some kid." Malachi replied calmly, the joy the little action had brought him was equal to stomping five baby birds since Jade had reacted. He turned around to see her expression as she helped the boy out of the mud, and immediatly recognized it.
"Of course, I guess it is, when he's a blind brat. Let me help you up." Malachi's arm extended and he pulled the boy back up the stairs by the collar of his shirt. He held the boy close to his face, his feet inches off the ground. "I remember you. How's life without eyes, you whelp?"

He was just going to say it was okay when he felt something approaching. Something cold... something familiar... He couldn't see now, but his senses could be extended far and wide. The boy couldn't remember... but the feeling was unmistaken. Someone... something was approaching. Suddenly, the next thing he knew was a strange, icy feeling passed through the very molecules of his body.
In front! His mind yelled out, but his body failed to react in ti me. A force shot through him and he was pushed off the stairs and onto the wet concrete floor on his back. The rain fell on his face as he gritted his teeth and pushed himself to a sitting position.Who and why the hell?!
Suddenly, he felt a strong arm lift him upwards and back into the shelter of the hall. He could feel the man's breath as he talked. When he heard about the 'without light' comments, he immediately remembered the tone, the glaring eyes, the deep and dark voice...
"You?! You're the shadow?!" He pushed his hand back, and dropped to the floor on both his feet. "What did you do... what did you do to her?!" He yelled out as he slowly felt the burning and freezing sensation of his body... He was recalling the pain inflicted upon him... and her... His body began to tremble a bit as his body somehow reacted to the mere presence of the shadow.
Calm down... Calm down...

Jade glanced between the two, slightly confused. "Malachi, why do you have to be like that?" Her eyes glowed white, ready to get out of there and fetch Feuer. The lights in the room glowed brighter, the shadows disappearing a little.

"Didn't learn your lesson last time, you witless little cripple? Was the loss of your eyes not enough to drive this simple lesson into your thick skull? I won't tolerate your presence," Malachi's dark eyes became darker, the whites of his eyes were as black as his skin. Black teeth were deadly sharp and bared underneath the sneering of his lips. "Your own stupidity is the cause of your death."
Malachi's black nails lengthened, becomming dagger like as he held them over Brandon's heart. He pulled his hand back, and aimed for a fatal strike.

A bright beam of light shot through Malachi. It was enough to blind a normal person. Jade walked towards Malachi her eyes aflame with a frightening light. "I will NOT have you threatening one of us." THe power radiating from Jade was frightening, even to her. She had never been this angry in her life and she had never used her powers like this.
"I do not appreciate your attitude in this school. I don't care if Jasmine likes you." Jade's voice raised to a scary volume her voice became slightly deeper. "BACK OFF OR I WILL KILL YOU!"

Medelsome wench... Malachi's form wavered as the light hit him, causing him to lose his grip on Brandon for a second. But as the stupid woman attempted to threaten him, he quickly corrected his error, latching a dark hand around Brandon's wrist.
"There's no need to get so angry," Malachi told her, straightening back up with a smile on his face. "It was mearly a ruse. I was just greeting an old friend..."
In the shadow world, he wispered to Brandon's shadow, effectivly letting Brandon her, but not Jade. "If you ever want to see your precious girl again, you'll do as I say. It'd be such a shame, after all the battles you fought, all you gave up to be with her, if you lost her now over this, wouldn't it? Do not doubt me when I say I hold the girl's life in my hands."

Jade stood down slightly. THe lights became slightly duller. "Let him go." Her voice was low and was dripping with hate.

"I'll show the boy around, so you don't have to worry about that. He wants to see Cristina, at any rate. I'll take him to her." Malachi did not let go of Brandon's wrist in the shadow world, but he let his hand drop in the real world. Malachi tightened his grip slightly, making sure the boy knew his hand was dangerously close to a major artery.

"I would rather it if Jasmine could see him first. Jasmine needs to know of students returning." Jade was trying to think of any reason that would keep Malachi and Brandon from being alone
