It took Modo under ten minutes to reach Rain's apartment due to the fact that he had been speeding the whole time. Normally he wouldn't have done something so reckless and against the law, but figured that as long as he didn't cause any accidents then no one would care.
And in the end, when he climbed off of his bike and walked up the steps leading to her front door and knocked, it was totally worth it to see Rain answer her front door wearing nothing but a long satin robe that was tightly tied around her slender waist, the deep V of the neckline showing the soft curves of her breasts.
Modo stared at her chest for a second before catching himself and quickly looking up at her flushed face, her dark hair was loosely piled on top of her head and held in place by several bobby pins.
"R-Rain?" Choked out in a shocked tone as his tail started tying itself in knots behind his back.
She blinked at him. "Modo? What are you doing here?" She asked curiously as he sputtered.
"Never mind me! What are you doing answering the door like that?" Modo growled at her after a second or so as a car drove by and the driver had the nerve to lean out the window and yell something lewd at Rain. Modo turned his head enough to see the license plate of the car as well as the color, make, and model. He'd look for it later. When he left Rain's place.
Reaching out absent mindedly he put his hands on her shoulders and gently pushed her back into the apartment and used his body to block the door as another car passed. Modo muttered an oath under his breath and pushed Rain back a little bit farther so that he could slip inside and close the door before muttered, "Sorry about the intrusion." As he entered her home and quickly slammed the door closed and leaned his back against it looking like he'd like nothing more than to nail the damn thing shut.
Rain stood there for a second or so with a blank look on her face before remembering that she had been in the middle of a bath when she had heard someone knocking at her front door. And had put on her long robe to go see who was disturbing her in the middle of her relaxation time, and blushed a little bit as she looked down at herself. God when she went without sleep it was like she lost any and all traces of common sense.
No wonder Modo seemed so upset when she answered the door.
She wasn't wearing anything!
"I...should probably go put some clothes on..." She said after a second or so drawing Modo's attention to her.
"Yes. Do." The words were curt, and angry and for some unknown reason hurt her a little bit as she turned and quietly walked back down the hall to her bedroom and slipped inside and closed the door. Missing the anxious and slightly nervous look on Modo's face as he slumped against the door a little bit and covered his face with his hands and slowly counted to ten before finally dropping his arms back to his sides and moving away from the door.
He couldn't believe that Rain had answered her door in her robe. Was she trying to kill him? Or simply drive him insane with lust and cause him to jump her? Cause right now he was pretty sure that he could go either way. His heart was going a mile a minute and he was already painfully hard.
He'd have to make this a short visit or he might end up doing something unforgivable.
Rain took her time getting dressed. Partially because her feelings were hurt and partially because she was starting to get tired. Missing a whole night of rest then running around for a couple of hours this morning must finally be catching up to her. She had originally been planning to take a nice long nap after her bath, but now she wasn't sure if she'd be able to do that.
Not that she was complaining.
She just hadn't expected to have two visitors swing by her place unannounced. Throttle had been a nice diversion from some of the stress that she had felt when she had rolled out of bed this morning. And Modo...well...she could only guess at what had brought the big guy by her place.
She pulled a black short sleeved cotton shirt over her head and started to tuck it into the waist band of her low riding jeans when she stopped herself and wondered why she was bothering to tuck her shirt in when she was at home. She was supposed to be able to relax here wasn't she?
Shrugging her shoulders at her own mental question she walked over to her dresser and lifted her hands to her hair and carefully picked out the bobby pins holding it on top of her head and then grabbed her brush and ran it through her hair two or three times to work out the tangles then set her brush down and slowly made her way back to the door and opened it and peeked out.
Modo was glaring out the window next to her front door. His one eye glowing slightly as he caught sight of the bastard that had driven by Rain's apartment earlier and yelled that lewd comment at her. He gnashed his teeth and made a low growling sound as he started to reach for the latch so that he could open the window.
He wanted so badly to yell at the man driving the car that if he saw him drive by again, he'd shoot his tires out. And he might have done just that if Rain hadn't come up behind him and peered out the window around him as she asked, "What are you looking at?"
He jerked and accidentally elbowed her in the stomach with his mechanical arm, causing her to yelp in pain and stagger back away from him before sinking to the floor with her arms wrapped around her stomach. Modo turned and gave her a wide eyed horrified look and started to take a step toward her, completely forgetting that he was holding onto her curtains and accidentally jerked the bar down onto his head in his effort to go see if she was okay.
"Ow! Shit. Rain!"
"I-I'm o-okay." Rain wheezed in a strained tone as she looked up at him with a pained look on her face.
Modo's ears flattened back against his head as he dropped to his knees in front of her with an anxious look on his face and gently grasped her wrists in his hands and pulled them away from her stomach and then lifted her shirt a little bit. And made a hissing sound when he saw the beginnings of a dark purplish/blue bruise right in the middle of her belly, just an inch or so above her belly button.
"Oh god Rain, I'm sorry-"
"That's okay Modo. I'm fine..." Rain gasped out after a second or so.
"Don't lie-" Modo snapped before catching himself and softening his voice. "I can see the bruise forming already. Are you having trouble breathing? Do your ribs hurt?" Did I accidentally break your ribs? Modo wondered worriedly as Rain gave him a pitiful looking smile that made him want to cry and he couldn't stop himself from reaching out and dragging her into his lap and holding her while he tried to think of what he could do to make this up to her.
It would probably be better if he left her alone, but he didn't think that would be wise. Not if he had broken one of her ribs. She'd likely suffer from a punctured lung and die if he left her alone.
He could try taking her to the local hospital. Just to have her checked out. Then he could leave her alone. God knew that she probably didn't want to see his face anymore after this.
