I am hooked on this song at the moment, and anything I get hooked on I have to do a songfic to, so here it is!
disclaimer~i don't own G Gundam, and I don't own the song performed by Brian Wayne.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Domon Kasshu marched purposefully down the street. He took little notice of the pleasent day around him as
he strode towards the ramshackle hotel that he and Rain had managed to procure a room in. A bum sat on the
curb holding a battered sign proclaiming that he would work for food.
[There's a man
standing on the corner
with a sign saying
'will work for food.']
Domon almost paused as he passed. No, he told himself. Rain and I scrape for money as it is. I can't go
giving it away.
[You know the man
you see him every morning.
The one you never give
your money to.]
Stupid crosswalk, Domon cursed silently. It seemed that he would never cross the street. He tapped his
foot on the worn pavement, impatiently waiting for the okay to cross. The man stared vacantly at him through
amber eyes that Domon could have sworn knew and saw all. Frankly, the man terrified him.
[You can sit there
with your window rolled up
wondering when the light's
gonna turn green. Never
know what a couple more bucks
in his pocket might mean.]
Finally! Domon beat a hasty retreat acroos the road, wishing that man would get a job and not sit on
that corner anymore, he creeped him out. Which, to the man's credit, was a hard thing to accomplish.
[What if he's an angel
set here from Heaven?
And he's making certain
that you're doing your best
to take the time to help one another
Brother are you gonna pass that test?
You can go on with your day-to-day
trying to forget what you saw
in his face. Knowing deep down
it could have been his saving grace.
What if he's an angel?]
Domon stood outside the hotel room door, fumbling uncharacteristically with the room key, trying to fit it
in the slot. 'Click.' Domon pushed open the door, locked it behind him, and flopped down onto the bed.
Grabbing the remote, he turned the TV on and started channel surfing lazily. Loud voices and a woman's screams
could be heard overhead. No honor, he thought scornfully, to do that to a woman.
[There's a man
there's a woman
living above you in apartment G.
There's a lot of noise
coming from the ceiling
aqnd it don't sound like harmony.
The woman screamed louder, and there was an audible 'thump' from above. Domon tweaked the volume up a tad,
cringing inwardly at the thought of that poor woman being beaten. There was little he could do though, so he
sat a watched TV.
[You can sit there
with your TV turned up
while his words and anger fly.
Come tomorrow when you see her
with her shades on,
can you look her in the eye?]
Domon, never one to turn down a free meal, had gone to the free breakfast the hotel offered the next day.
OUt of the corner of a brown eye, he was aware that the woman from the room above him had entered. She wore
sunglasses and heavy makeup, more so that usual. Domon had met her on occasion, her name was Rhea.
"G'moring Rhea," he made an effort to be pleasent.
"Hello Domon," the scarred woman answered. Domon felt a pang of pity, knowing what had happened. He
glanced away quickly, avoiding her gaze.
[What if she's an angel
set here from Heaven?
And she's making certain
that you're doing your best
to take the time to help one another
Brother are you gonna pass that test?
You can go on with your day-to-day
trying to forget what you saw
in her face. Knowing deep down
it could have been her saving grace.
What if she's an angel?]
Domon set off to the trash dump to see Rain, who had left early to finish repairs on the Gundam before
Domon's match later that day. Few shops were still in business as the man in the cape strolled down the road.
A TV store was open though. Thay had old-fashioned televisions for sale, stacked in the window for pedestrians
to observe. Domon stopped to watch the scene unfold. A small girl sat upon her father's lap. A red cap, the
same shade as Domon's cloak, was on her head to hide the fact that her hair was gone due to one of the
illnesses even medicine in FC 60 couldn't cure, cancer.
[Little girl on daddy's lap
hiding her disease
with a baseball cap.
You can turn the channel.
Most people do.
But what if you were sitting
in her daddy's shoes?]
Just then, the manager of the store came out. He shook his head at the poor child on the screen, then
reached through the broken window and changed the channel. Domon slowly set off down the street again, a
deep sense of sorrow having overcome his heart upon realizing that the sweet little child on the televion was
likely going to die.
[Maybe she's an angel
set here from Heaven?
And she's making certain
that you're doing your best
to take the time to help one another
Brother are you gonna pass that test?
You can go on with your day-to-day
trying to forget what you saw
in her face. Knowing deep down
it could have been her saving grace.
What if she's an angel?]
The man was still on the curb when Domon approached.
"Here." Domon handed the man some money. The look of joy on the man's face was enough to melt even Domon's
heart. The man headed to the nearest store to buy some food to eat, that Domon profusly as he went.
Just a few blocks later, he came across Rhea and her husband, who was dragging the sobbing woman along.
"Hey you, let her go," Domon intervened, removing the man's hand from Rhea's arm with a deft movement.
"C'mon Rhea, let's go have those bruises looked at." He walked off down the street with the grateful woman at
his side, leaving the stunned abuser wondering what on earth had just happened.
Rain was all to happy to treat Rhea's cuts, and invited her to stay with her and Domonn as long as she
wanted, or needed to.
Domon did a little research, and found that in Neo-America, they still did walks for cancer to raise money
for research. After some cajoling, he convinced the other Shuffle Alliance members to accompany him on one,
along with Rain, Allenby, Hoi, and Min. He could only hope they woulg cure it in time to save the little girl.
