"Rain drops falling down makes a sad and lonely sound, wishing you were still around." She gazes out into the murky, rainy night, remembering when her life had once been at its best on nights like tonight. The rain would have kept Rachel in, if there had not been a mission to call them away, and her best friend and lover always had all kinds of games to play under the sheets.
Kitty sighs and longingly touches the photograph of Ray she keeps by her bedside. She's had other lovers since the beautiful redhead, but none have been able to even come close to comparing to her. She knows they never will for what she had with Rachel was the purest of magics. Ray was her soul mate, even if no one else could have ever understood and they always had to keep their love secret.
"Oh, Rachel," Kitty sighs forlornly, "I miss you so much!" She'd known even then that it could not last for Rachel came from another time and would one day have to return to it, but she'd been unable to deny the call of her heart to her own. Rachel filled her heart, soul, and even her mind. She completed her like no one else ever could or will, and Kitty knows that, without her, she'll only ever be half the woman she was.
As memories play through her mind, Kitty curls up into her bed by herself, clutching Rachel's picture to her breasts and lets them come. They bring laughter and tears alike from her, and for just a moment, it's almost as though Rachel is there with her again, holding her hand, telling her it will be okay, and gazing into her eyes as though they're the most fascinating thing on the face of the planet.
Kitty swallows hard as her tears pour down, blurring her vision as though the rain was now coming into her bedroom, but this is the rain that never stops. This is the rain of her heart left lonely, of tear drops that will continue to fall until Rachel is back in her life again, sparkling through the dark shadows of the Shadowcat's world with her magical, passionate fire. Only then will Kitty be happy again. Only then will be she whole once more.
"Hurry home, Ray," she whispers. No answer comes to her but the splitting of the night by another lightning bolt and the roar of thunder. Kitty wonders if maybe some God's upset because they, too, have lost their love. They have eternity to wait for that love to return, and although Kitty may be mortal, she swears she'll wait an eternity too. She'll wait however long it takes until Rachel's back in her arms, loving her again, and making her whole.
The End
