Allenby rubbed the back of her head as she rolled over in bed. The tingling feeling from the night before was still there. There was a loud knock at the door. She turned again hoping the person would just go away.
"Allenyby?" Came a familiar voice. She fell off the bed. She quickly stood up, wincing in pain. She grabbed her bathrobe and finally made it to the door. Domon's steady gaze met hers. She then realized how bad she looked. Her hair was all messed up and she hadn't slept very well either.
"Domon? What is it?" She asked, opening the door more. "What happened last night?" He asked her back. She looked away from him. "I don't know." She admitted sadly. He turned her back to face him only to realize she was crying. "Allenby, I want to help but you won't let me." He said. "There's nothing you can do." She said trying to stop the tears. "Please just stay away from me." She begged him. "If this has anything to do with the Dark Gundam, I can't ignore it." He told her. She moved closer to him, the way she had the night before. It caught him off guard.
"Please..you've already suffered too much. I don't want to add to it." She explained, leaning into his ear. "That's not important right now." He said looking away from her. Allenby could feel the sudden aching in her head again. She shut her eyes tight. "No.." She said softly to herself. "It's happening again isn't it. I want to help." He offered, looking back at her. "It's too angry at you though." She said, refusing to look at him. He placed his hands on her shoulders causing her to look his way. "I don't care about that." Allenby tried not to get lost in the intense look he was giving her but she couldn't stop herself. She moved in closer to him, this time he didn't seem to notice. The pain was still there but Allenby ignored it. She wondered if Domon was even aware of how she was feeling. She wanted him to know so much. She leaned her face up to his. Domon stood there in shock, not sure how to react. The kiss lasted longer then it should have. Rain came to Domon's mind and he backed away from Allenby slowly. A wave of disappointment came over her. "I'm sorry Allenby, but I can't." He told her softly. "You know I can't." He added. She looked towards the floor tears streaming down her face. "I know..." She agreed. There was a long moment of silence. "I'm sorry. Maybe I'll see you around." Allenby finally said placing her hand on the doorknob. Domon nodded back and went out into the hall. Allenby slouched over to her suitcase and got dressed. Then she sat on her bed quietly. Eventually she lay down and covered her face with her pillow. 'I can't believe I just did it. What was I thinking? What's wrong with me?' She asked herself as more tears came to her eyes. The throbbing in her head got worse. This time she didn't bother to fight it. ***
Domon headed back to the hotel. He had this sudden desire to be with Rain after the incident with Allenby. He wasn't even sure if he was going to tell her about what happened. It would only make her upset. He walked past the warehouse and heard some noise inside. He went in to see if anyone was in there. The cockpit was opened with equipment all over the place. He smiled to himself. 'Guess Rain got bored sitting around without me.' He made his way up. Once he got inside the door, he saw Rain sitting on the floor; her back turned to him. Tools littered the floor and she had definitely been working in there for awhile now. He leaned over her to see what she was doing.
"I thought you tested everything the other day?" He mentioned causing her to jump. She turned to see him there and elbowed him in the ribs.
"What?" He asked reacting to her attack. "You could have knocked." She explained, whipping the grease off her face. But all she managed to was smear it more. Domon couldn't help but grin. "Have you been in here all morning?" He asked sitting down next to her. She went back to tightening a bolt. "Well I didn't know where you went so I figured I could find something to work on in here." She answered him. He remained silent at that point remembering what had just happened with Allenby. "So where did you run off to so early this morning?" Rain said as she worked bringing him back to the present. He let out a sigh. "I was just trying to get another lead to our search." He remarked. She was now having trouble tightening the bolt all the way. "Did you find anything helpful?" She kept trying to turn it. Domon's hands came up to hers and he took the wrench from her. She let go of it and let him finish it up. "Not really. As soon as we get a lead it doesn't seem to go anywhere." He told her. She yawned in agreement and placed her head on his shoulder. Once he was finished he handed her the wrench back. "Thank you." She said softly, putting it with her other tools. They sat there quietly for a couple of minutes. Rain ended it with a small laugh. "What's so funny?" Domon asked her. She lifted her head to face him. "I was just thinking of all the work we've done on this thing. It's feels like just yesterday we had just started." She smiled. "Yeah, sure feels that way." He stood and helped her up. "Rain, I uh..." He started but caught himself. "Yes?" She inquired brushing herself off. She looked up at him innocently. He couldn't bring himself to tell her. "It's nothing really. Would you like to go out tonight?" He suggested.
"Really?" She was surprised that he would offer. "Uh, well we haven't gotten to do anything nice since we've been here." Domon pointed out. Rain nodded back. "That would be nice." She said as he helped her onto the platform and pushed the button to go down. The rest of the day was pretty much uneventful. Rain had to buy some supplies and Domon went out to train with Kyoji. Rain made it back to the hotel first and got ready for the evening.
Writer's note-Hey everyone thanks for all the awesome reviews. Apparently I am not the only out here that knows about keeping characters in character and trying to keep things as close to the show as possible. Actually I haven't been able to see the last five minutes of the show. The tape cut out-_-, but the episode is coming around again so I'll get to finally see it. Hope everyone enjoys the chapter. No flames about the Allenby thing. Je Ni!
