Chances and Promises...
Domon ran through the school searching for Rain.
'Rain! Rain! Please wait for me!' Domon thought as he ran past everyone. While he ran past, someone grabbed him and pulled him back, almost making him loose his balance. He turned into the dangerously glittering green eyes of Hikaru.
"What the hell did you do to her now Kasshu? I know something was wrong with Rain. What happened?" She demanded, her eyes flaring.
"I broke up with Allenby... I want to be with Rain..." He mumbled softly. He looked into her eyes, seeing her eyes soften.
"You know... She has had a really bad time.... I mean, you put her through so much... and Now Hideo Fuyo is asking her to the next dance coming up... I think you know her answer to his question..."
"Fuyo???" The thought of that name ran through his mind.. 'Kyoji... Natsumi... Kagatsue...Fuyo?!?!' Domon quickly started running, and shouted a quick "Thanks!" to Hikaru. She smiled and left to find Kyoji...
Domon searched until she found Rain talking with Hideo by the library. He stiffly walked up to Rain and said, "Rain..? May I please speak to you?" Hideo got up protectively.
"No you may not Domon Kasshu. I will not permit you to talk to Miss Rain." He said snottily.
"Get out of my way Hideo Fuyo... Unless you want to end up like your brother." Domon said acidly looking into Hideo's shocked face.
"This has nothing to do with my Brother, anyways, Just leave Rain alone." He pulled Rain up and walked away with her, her face looking back mournfully and turned. Domon stood there, silently cursing himself not realizing his feelings sooner. He looked up, and silently made a promise to himself, for his future with Rain.
~*~*~After School~*~*~
"I don't know what to do anymore... Rain has been so distant lately..." Marie said sadly. They sat at a table in a café shop. George held Marie Louise's' hand and gave it a comforting squeeze.
"I know... Smoking, picking fights, cursing... Its unbelievable...." Shirley said, cuddling up on Chibodee.
"But did you hear?" Chibodee said, "Rain's going with some guy, I forgot his name though..."
"Hideo Fuyo." Argo said quietly. His head was staring at the floor as if hiding something...
"Argo? What's up?" Sai asked him.
"Yes Argo, do tell us.." Nastasha asked impatiently.
"I Did hang out with Kyoji for awhile before I met Domon... It was last year..." Argo explained the story to them. They listened intently, all the girls were on the verge of tears.
"Oh my! That's horrible!!!" Cecil cried and clung onto Sai.
"Wait, Why would he do such a thing to Natsumi anyways? I think your lying! ouch!" Chibodee said as he got in smack from the irritated Shirley.
"I agree, I doubt he'd do that just for fun Argo..." George said thoughtfully.
"Kagatsue always held a grudge against Kyoji, no one knows why. Maybe because of the attention he got from Natsumi... Who knows. But... That night Natsumi wanted to break up with Kagatsue... He always had the worst temper..."
"I see... So, he was torn with rage and jealousy, so he killed her... So no one could have her..." Nastasha said in a quiet voice.
"I still don't believe this! I doubt anyone would do this!" He said uncaringly.
"How much do you want to bet Crocket?" Argo said slyly.
~*~*~School...~*~*~
"Is this enough evidence?" Argo said pointing to the fountain.
" 'In Memory Of Natsumi Hiagorue.
Well Known, And Loved By All...
May Her Soul Rest In Peace..' That's enough evidence for me." Chibodee said as he read the inscription.
"How sad... To think this happened once already... Its like history is repeating itself..." Marie said sadly. George put his arm around Marie comfortingly.
"No need to worry, I'm sure Domon will save our dear Rain. I'm positive." He said smiling. The wind picked up and blew all around them. They felt a presence, and warm gentle presence all around them. They thought they heard a little laugh around them, but the looked around to see no one else there.
"Uh... guys? This is getting a bit too freaky for me..." Chibodee whined clinging onto Shirley.
"Come on, Let's get out of here..." George said, leading everyone away. Once they all left, a figure appeared. Her brown hair flowing in the wind, and her brown eyes shimmering mischievously.... She laughed a little bit and whispered into the air, and disappeared.
The wind around whispered the words, "I love You, Kyoji..." in a sweet voice before disappearing in the howls of the picking up wind.
~*~*~Next Day~*~*~
Domon walked to school sadly. He thought about the choice Rain had made... 'The school dance with Hideo... What was it, Winter formal I think? I don't know, but I need to stop Rain.' he thought, not noticing a certain girl was walking ahead of him.
Rain walked to school in baggy capris with black sneakers. She wore a black tang top and a zipper black jacket to keep her warm in the blowing winds. She wore no make up today, her face was clear for the first time in a few days. She sighed heavily and walked to Marie and the others.
"Rain! How are you?" Ceil asked and smiled at Rain.
"I'm fine Cecil, how are you?" Rain half smiled and sat down.
"I'm fine as well. What brings you here? Usually your with Kyoji..." Cecil's voice trailed off...
"Oh... I didn't feel like hanging with them today...." Rain sat there quietly.
George and the other guys slowly got an placed themselves protectively around Rain as they saw Hideo show up. Rain peeked through the guys and saw Hideo peeking back at her.
"Um... Rain? Can we go now...?" Hideo asked. Although he tried to hide it, the impatience leaked out into his voice.
"Yes, Excuse me." She said as she slowly got up. Marie's face was full of pure concern for her friend. Rain looked away sadly and reluctantly took Hideo's hand. He started to lead her away when Domon stood in his way.
"Back away from Rain.." His voice said slowly, the dangerousness of his voice frightened Rain a bit.
"Back of Kasshu. Rain obviously doesn't want to be with you." He responded. Rain, confused by her feelings back away from the both of them. "Rain...?!" he asked shocked and angry.
"Please... both of you... leave me alone..." She said as she sat back down by Cecil. Shirley and Nastasha gave both Domon and Hideo a fierce glare and joined Cecil and Marie in comforting Rain. The guys formed a protective circle around Rain once again.
Domon smirked at Hideo a bit before leaving. Hideo cursed under his breath. He took a step towards Rain. "Rain, c'mon! Stop this crazy act and come with me." Although he asked nicely, you could hear the command in his words.
"Leave Me Alone Hideo! Now!!!" Rain barked. Chibodee took a step forward, George turned to face Hideo, Argo glared at him evilly, and Sai smiled mischievously. Again, Hideo cursed and backed up. He looked the young men in the eyes and turned, walking away.
"Rain... Are you alright?" Shirley asked Rain, who's head was in her hands. There came a muffled reply of "no." then more silence. Soon, the bell rang around them.
"Come Rain, Let's go." Marie said, taking Rain's arm and lead her to her next class.
~*~*~Class~*~*~
Rain sat in class, no longer giving her teacher snide remarks and rude comments. The teacher, grateful for having no problems for one day, taught happily. Rain sat there and stared out the window. She looked at the peaceful serene schoolyard. She saw a figure from far away staring at her. She squinted her eyes at the figure, but it soon walked off and disappeared.
"What the..." Rain mumbled as the teacher asked her a question. "Yes... The civil war.." she went on talking and explaining about the war. Soon, the teacher was satisfied and let her be.
The bell let out its shrill ring as Rain gathered her stuff. She walked to her next class. The same thing happened again. Only this time, She got evil glares from Allenby and loving caring looks from Domon. Rain walked out of the class quickly and left. Her others classes were again, like her first. After school, Rain went to Marie Louise.
"Marie...?" She asked timidly.
"Yes?" She replied happily. "What is it?"
"Can you help me with History and Trig..? Would you mind?' Rain asked. She smiled when Marie smiled back at her.
"of course I'll help you Rain!" Marie walked home with Rain chatting happily with her friend.
~*~*~Hours Later~*~*~
Rain walked home happily. Not only had she gotten help with trigonometry and history, but English and Chemistry as well. She walked up her driveway to see a figure waiting. His brown eyes stared at her intensely.
"Domon... What do you want?" She asked coldly.
"I wanted to speak with you Rain. I know I have neglected my-" He started but looked and Rain and stopped. Rain's eyes were glistening with tears. They rolled down her cheek slowly. She started to sniffle and wiped away her tears quickly. Rain started sobbing more and more until Domon an up to her and wrapped her into a tight embrace. "Please don't cry Rain.. Please..." he said rubbing her back comfortingly. Her sobs soon turned into light sniffles, and then stopped. Then, she shoved him away hastily and brutally.
"Get away from me Domon Kasshu.." She said avoiding his eyes. "I don't love you anymore..."
"please... Rain!" He stepped towards her again, only to be punched. He blocked just in time. This time, he would be ready. "Don't start this again Rain!" Domon yelled exasperated at her.
"C'mon Domon! This time, I'm not going easy on you!!!" She said smiling a malicious smile.
