G Gundam- Getting Past The Rain

A/N: Okay, so here's something I cooked up during school. For some reason, G Gundam popped into my mind. And I started to wonder about Rain and about her life after Domon went to train with Master Asia. I mean, damn, she's got to have at least another special someone. You know? So I decided to write a story about it. But don't worry; it is still a Domon/Rain fiction. I would never dream of splitting those two apart.

Now that that's settled, on with the story.

Chapter One: When I lost Rain.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own G Gundam in any form

Rain. Some people call it falling water, liquid that gets you wet. Well, any form of liquid gets you wet but that's beside the point. It is also the name of the most beautiful woman in the world. My name is Albert and this is how it all started. After Domon Kasshu left the Colonies to train with the acclaimed Master Asia, my family rented the Kasshu's house. I was still at that time confused as to where I stood in life, but the girl next door helped me change all that. Her name was Rain.

"Rain?" I asked when I first met her. "That's a weird name."

"Yeah, I guess so. But my father says that rain is a blessing," she replied.

Over the years I became the best of friends with Rain Mikamura. She was the only one that was ever there for me; my parents were always away on business trips and I was always left to fend for myself. Well, with the help of Rain, of course. She was my everything. At school I was always picked on because I was so quiet. I never really opened up to anyone except for Rain. She always had a way to break through my icy façade. And she would always let me walk home with her, seeing as we lived next door.


Then one day, I finally had the courage to ask her out. I can still remember every single detail about that moment. Her calm blue eyes sparkled with happiness as she took my hand into hers. She breathed in deeply, all sixteen years of her along with it. "Yes," she said lightly trying to hold in a blush. I was also embarrassed and couldn't help but put my hand on the back of my head trying to think of how she would react if I kissed her. But before I even had the chance, she leaned in and gently pressed her lips against mine. That was the single most cherishable memory I had until that day. . .that godforsaken day.


It started off like any other day. Rain and I had both turned eighteen. I went over to Rain's house, greeted Dr. Mikamura, and waited for Rain at the foot of the stairs. As she descended, I noticed she was wearing a very beautiful dress. I couldn't help but stare, which made it all the more harder for me to take in the words she was about to say.

"Albert," she greeted and put on a fake smile that I noticed instantly.

"Are you okay?" I asked but she cut me off.

"Let's go somewhere private to talk," she muttered as she saw her father pointing at his watch.

We walked out the door and into her yard. I looked into her eyes questioningly. "What is it that you want to talk about? Surely we can work things out," I said but she shook her head. "No, Albert. This we will not be able to work out. Albert, I'm leaving for college soon and I probably will never see you again. I know that your mind is set on going down to Earth to help those in need." She pointed her finger at the planet we used to call "a giant blueberry" when we were little. I nodded my head slowly, still trying to process all that into my mind.

"I'll wait for you," I offered, my hands intertwined with hers. Rain smiled weakly but shook her head.

"No, Albert. Pursue your dream, like I'm pursuing mine. Please, it's the only way to go." Tears formed around the corner of her eyes as I felt droplets coming from mine as well.

"Please, Rain. I love you. I'll never love another for as long as I live," I confessed. "Rain . . . I just want to be with you. Nothing is going to get in our way. Rain . . ."

By then she grabbed me by the waist crying, "I'm sorry!" before running toward her father and out of my life. I heard the engine of her father's car start but I paid no heed for I was as cold as a statue from that point on, giving not a care to any other in the world. The gate opened and the grim reaper himself entered. My eyes were still dead set on the ground in which Rain had graced with her own two feet. The man cleared his throat but I ignored him. My Rain was gone and there was nothing in the world that would bring her back to me.

"Albert," the man barked at me. I turned my gaze at him with ice water running in my veins. Only four people know my name: my mother, my father, Dr. Mikamura, and Rain. And this man was not on the list.

"What do you want with me," I growled in between clenched teeth. The man smiled as if Christmas was coming early this year.

"That's what I'm looking for in you. Anger. It's a beautiful thing, is it not?" I growled again, glaring at him and wishing he would just drop dead. But instead, I turned and walked away from the man, wishing for the possibility that Rain will come back to me. I sat on her porch and waited. Seconds turned to minutes, then to hours, then days, weeks, months, and finally, year.

The man visited me every now and then, just to see how I was doing. After a year had gone by since I last held Rain's hand, I decided to give up hope. Then I noticed the man was still there looking at me.

"What do you want?" I asked. His patience was a curious thing, since he was able to wait for me every day for the past year. The man smiled as he pulled out a cigarette and pressed it between his lips. After taking a long puff, he threw the butt onto the ground and grounded it.

"Albert, how would you feel if I told you I'd help you get Rain Mikamura back into your arms?" That caught my attention but remained my cool nonetheless. The man continued to speak. "There's only one catch: You must become a Gundam fighter. Representing Ne0-Taiwan. Interested?"

I nearly killed myself laughing so hard. "What's being a Gundam fighter going to help resolve my problem?"

The man reached into his coat pocket and pulled out an envelope. He handed it to me.

"Read."

I read: "To the United Colonies Gundam Fight Federation. From Dr. Mikamura. To Prime Minister Karato, your plan worked magnificently. Domon Kasshu thinks his brother Kyoji had taken the Ultimate Gundam to try to rule the galaxy. His mother is dead, and his father is put into a cryogenic state. I must applaud your ingenious, for because of this Ne0-Japan will surely win the 13th Gundam Fight. My daughter, Rain, will be traveling with Domon Kasshu and helping him go through "obstacle." Naturally, it is needless to say that Shining Gundam is completed and has received the green light for piloting. Domon can begin training anytime now. -Dr. Mikamura."

"So. . .you interested now?" I looked into the man's cold eyes, as if searching for any sign of evil intent. Of course there was, but who doesn't? We're human, after all. I accepted the terms, but little did I know that I was setting myself up for another heartbreak in two years time.

So?? What do you think? Trust me, it's a D/R and A/OC even though it'll sound like the exact opposite. Please review! Any opinions? Good. Tell me. I'll try to make any changes that I see fit according to your opinions. Please remember to review. I would really appreciate it.
