Rain and the rest of the architecture students of their class had went out for drinks that weekend, though Sky opted out. He didn't want to hang around a bunch of people. Instead he decided to try out his abilities.
While he never regretted what he did, he was still confused about what exactly happened. When Sky first woke up after falling asleep in the alleyway, he thought that he was dreaming. He wasn't in control of his body. It was like watching a first person point of view of somebody else's life. He only regained control of his body when he was back at his studio and Gun and his friends were already taken care of.
Since then, Sky's been practicing every chance he gets. All Sky has been able to uncover is that he's able to control fire. He once tried lighting a candle only to set his entire table on fire. He was able to put it out, but has since relocated to the bathroom shower to prevent anymore disasters.
He's gotten quite good at controlling small flames though he's never experienced losing control like he did before. He believed that the flames reacted to his emotions and lately, he hasn't had any reason to be upset.
That being said, he didn't want to risk any accidents. So he continued to practice his abilities in secret.

The following Monday, Rain and Sky were on their way into the school when they saw a crowd forming at entrance. They made their way to the front of the crowd, only to see a mysterious man talking to Ple.

"P'Payu?! What the hell are you doing here?" Rain said before trying to run away. Payu grabbed his arm before he could get too far away.
'Payu? As in the man who helped Rain when his car was giving him trouble?' Sky thought as he recalled Rain telling him about his car troubles this morning.
"Nevermind. I've found who I was looking for. Thanks for your help." Payu said to Ple.
"What are you doing? Let go of me! I'm not going with you." Rain said while trying to pull his arm away.
"Are sure about that? I already called and told you about the repair fee." Payu said to Rain.
"What repair fee?" Ple asked.
"For the car repair at my family's garage." He told her.
"Or you can pay the rest here. Since you already paid some of it by letting me grab-" Payu was cut off as Rain covered his mouth.
"Grab?!" The students all gasps together.
"Grab what?" Ple asked.
"Come with me." Rain said before he dragged Payu to the men's bathroom.
"Are they close?" Ple asked Sky.
"I have no idea." Sky said.
After sometime, the bell sounded and everyone left to go to class. Sky didn't want to leave Rain behind, but he also didn't want to interrupt his private conversation with Payu.
Just then, Payu exited the men's bathroom alone. Though Rain was still able to be heard as he shouted from inside "There won't be a next time! You hear me, you bad senior!"
Sky rushed into the bathroom only to find Rain sitting on the ground, in front of sinks.
"Hey Rain. What are you doing? Get up." Sky told Rain.
"I'm getting up." Rain said but didn't move to stand up.
"What? Nevermind. Just get up. We're late for class."
Rain looked down before replying to Sky "I'm up."
Sky looked down too before saying "Okay not what I was talking about. Do you need another minute to handle that or-"
"No! I'm fine." Rain interrupted Sky. "I'll meet you outside in a minute."
"Alright. Just hurry up." Sky said before leaving the bathroom.
Rain was muttering to himself as he stormed out of the bathroom. He almost walked by Sky, but Sky managed to catch up to him and start walking to class.
"What are you going on about?" Sky asked Rain.
"He completely embarrassed me. I'm going to get back at him. How dare he do this to me?" Rain replied.
"Are you going to try and get back at P'Payu? That's not a good idea." Sky said while shaking his head.
Rain had stopped walking and turned to Sky. "Why not?"
"He's the most respected senior at this school. He has his own fanbase. I doubt you'll be able to do anything to him."
"Just wait and see. I heard that he does a bit of racing from P'Som. Perhaps he knows where P'Payu goes to race." Rain said before continuing to walk to class.
After a moment or two, Rain turned to the side to look at Sky, only to find he wasn't there. Sky was where they were before. He wasn't moving at all.
"Sky?" Rain called to him as he walked towards him.
"Sky?"
But Sky couldn't hear Rain. He was lost in the memories that invaded his head. Gun liked to race too. Gun liked to take his loses out on Sky. Sky was reliving every moment.
"SKY!" Rain yelled into Sky's ear.
"What?!" Sky shouted as he jumped back.
"You weren't answering. Are you okay?" Rain asked him.
"I'm fine." Sky said while trying to push the memories to the back of his head.
"Are you sure?" Rain asked. He was reluctant to believe Sky because he still looked uneasy.
"Yes. Actually we don't need to ask P'Som about the races. I'll get us some answers." Sky said as he was trying to distract Rain.
"P'Som is P'Payu biggest fanboy. Out of anyone who would have any information on P'Payu, it's P'Som." Raid said.
"I know that. Just trust me on this. I've got this. I'll help you out." Sky said before grabbing Rain's hand.
"Now come on. We're already so late for class." Sky said.
They both started running to class hoping not to get a scolding from their teacher for being so late.
