Ame's POV
Tatsumi is stronger then I first thought, he defeated Ogre, Captain of the Capital Guard, alone yesterday.
Right now, I'm running at half speed, well at my half speed anyways, through the forest that surrounds the base with the team.
There's a group of mercenaries that are too close to the base.
Our objective: eliminate all intruders.
Everyone split up, Tatsumi is with Bulat since he needs more battle experience.
As I ran and searched, I could here the sound of a blast. 'Must be one of the others taking out an enemy...'
I could feel the wind rush past me and my running soon came to a stop at the top of a small cliff.
I raised my right arm high up into the air, palm facing the sky. Soon, the water vapour in the surrounding air crystallized into shards of ice that soon formed a long Chinese style dragon. "Arigato, Kōri no Ha..." I muttered under my breath as the usual ice tiara formed in my hair.
"Search and eliminate all enemies of Night Raid..." I ordered in a trance like voice.
The dragon slithered through the sky and began it's search, just as I ordered. A battle cry then emitted from behind me, it was a girl pointing a dagger at me as she charged.
Just before she was too close to me, stalagmites of ice shot up from the ground under her. She died instantly due to one of the stalagmites of ice shooting straight through her head.
I let out a tired sigh before turning to face off the cliff again. I closed my eyes and focused on the base area and where I think everyone ended up. 'Their all going to meet up at where Bulat and Tatsumi are...' I concluded logically since I could feel everyone's aura moving to where two are standing.
Reopening my cyan eyes, I raise my right arm into the air, palm facing the sky once more, and my dragon returned. Climbing on to its neck, I pointed towards where the others were gathering before it took off.
Lubbock's POV
Wondering into the kitchen to get a glass of water in the middle of the night, I heard a soft voice coming from outside.
Readying my Cross Tail, I cautiously followed the singing feminine voice. 'Great... I have to kill another girl today...' I thought with a sigh.
When I reached a good distance from the source of the sound, I was in shocked-no stunned-standing at the grassy hill was Ame.
The wind blowing back her midnight blue hair, moonlight and fireflies bouncing off her cyan highlights.
A breathtaking sight.
"♪Chichi wa iwareta

Mamori tamae♪"
As she sang, her cyan eyes kept closed, and once the song ended icicles formed around her in mid-air before they were shot at my direction. "AH!"
Dodging the icicles jut in time, I found myself pinned to the ground with a blade against my neck. "Oh, it's you." Ame muttered, realizing I wasn't an enemy, before getting up and extending a hand to help me stand up.
Taking the offer; I grasp her extended hand and hoist myself to my feet. "I didn't know you could sing." I commented casually. "Mostly only on nights with a full moon. Don't you dare tell anyone." She answered, adding a warning in a low voice.
"I won't!" I reassure in a panic. "Good." She said curtly heading back inside. "Come on. We've got assignments to do tomorrow so lets get some sleep." She called over her shoulder.
I ran after her with one thing on my mind. 'Why does she sing only on nights of a full moon?' The question ran through my brain but I decide it best not to voice it.

Song: Song of the Spirit Sending / Song of Parting
Song Source: Inuyasha the Movie:Fire on the Mystic Island
Here are the English lyrics to the song, NOT the translation.
♪Father once said to me
Many moons ago
A demon hand will defend
Mother said one day
There is more that you must know
A mortal hand will sustain
Two hands together
Incomplete alone
Balance and union
And the gate will open
Go my children go
Go to crimson flames
To save our children
The lights of memory remain♪
