Qualms of the Heart...
Rain circled Domon, eying him carefully. Domon sighed heavily.
"We don't need to do this Rain! This is totally pointless!" He yelled at her, his impatience growing more and more.
"Yes we do Kasshu! I still haven't finished what I started a few days ago with you and Allenby!" Her grin scared Domon a bit. She charged at him unexpectedly and punched repeatedly at him over and over. Domon could barely manage to block her oncoming barrage of punches that soon turned into kicks. His arms were in pain from all the hits he managed to block.
"Fight back Domon!" She yelled as she jumped away. She stood there panting a bit staring at him bitterly.
"I won't fight you Rain! I thought I made it clear I wanted to be with you-" He barely managed to duck her fist but couldn't get away from her brutal kick in the stomach. He doubled over a bit but before he could recover, she kicked again making him fly in the air. She was about to kick him again until he grabbed her leg roughly and brought her to the ground. He pinned her to the floor, he was tired, panting, and quite angry.
"Let Go of me!" She yelled trying to writhe her way from under his firm hold.
"No Rain. Not until you listen to me!" He demanded her. He could feel her calm down and he let her go. "Okay... Now, will you listen to me?"
"..." she didn't respond, her eyes set onto the floor. Suddenly, her face flew up, for a split second, Domon saw anguish, then rage, but soon it was all replaced by a mask of calm as she tried to punch him once again. This time, he caught her hand, but she threw her other fist as well. He barely managed to catch her fist. He held her hands tightly and somehow, they ended up getting close.
"Let, GO OF ME!" Rain said crossly, struggling to get away from Domon. He instead pulled her closer. He closed his eyes and smelled the faint scent of perfume. He inhaled deeply, making Rain blush bright red.
"Domon! Stop it this instant!" She cried helplessly as he embraced her more. Inside, her head screamed in rage, but her heart was lost in happiness. This is what she had always wanted. One voice in her head started screaming.
"What are you doing?! Push away! Get away from him! He's the reason why I hurt so much! Get away!!!" it screamed aloud, the another soothing voice started talking.
"I Don't care... He's holding me, and that's all I need..." the voice inside her said calmly. She knew it was right. Domon was finally there, holding her, not ignoring her. That was all she needed.
Rain sighed in bliss and put her arms around Domon happily. They stayed like that for awhile, until they heard a muffled noise. Rain tore herself from Domon instantly, her head screaming joyfully but her heart crying in agony.
Kyoji and Hikaru emerged from the bushes. Kyoji smirked at Domon and Hikaru smiled at Rain. Rain blushed a bright cherry color and looked away quickly. Domon stared at the floor silently.
"You know," Kyoji said as he slung his arm around his younger brother. "I'm sure Dad wouldn't have mind if you actually brought Rain home... You know, do it in private???" Kyoji laughed and jumped away as Domon, now a deep crimson color, tried to punch Kyoji.
"Rain... I thought you didn't like Domon..." Hikaru mocked giggling as Rain's eyes narrowed. Rain silently thanked the night's darkness for covering her blushes.
"Shut up Hikaru! I'm going to sleep now. I've had enough of this!" Rain spat out walking angrily towards her house and slammed the door shut.
"Um...." Domon backed away from Kyoji before his brother could say anything. "I'm going now!" He said as he too ran to the safety of his home.
"Kyoji, I think Rain still likes Domon, no matter what she says to deny it." Hikaru said laughing merrily. Her green eyes shimmering brightly in the dim night. Kyoji smiled at her.
"I think so too..." He said, pulling Hikaru towards him and they walked back to his house, Hikaru blushing slightly.
~*~*~Rain's Bedroom~*~*~
"UGH! How could I have been so stupid?!?!" Rain yelled as she stormed into her bedroom. Again, her father was out late working with Dr. Kasshu. She was left at home all alone once again.
"Why did I let him do that?! I hate him! He bothers me endlessly! I hate him!!!" She screamed. Then she whispered quietly, "Then why can't I get him out of my mind...?" She sighed heavily. This was not how it was supposed to go! He broke her heart! She was supposed to get over him, not fall back in love with him! She groaned aloud and threw herself onto her bed.
~*~*~Domon's Bedroom~*~*~
Domon quickly ran into his room before Kyoji could ask him any questions. HE didn't even know why he had done that. 'Cause you love her!' A part of him said. He thought about how close they were, her sweet scent, her cute little angry attitude. He looked out his window to the Mikamura household where Rain's bedroom was. He saw the light on, and heard angry muffled screams of curses. He stared out the window with a giant sweat drop on his head. He decided not to say anything, but He guessed Rain had sensed him looking in her window because a vase full of flowers came flying towards him.
"ACK!" He yelled as he sprang away from the window. The vase went and broke with a crashing sound to the floor. The flowers scattered and petals were everywhere. Domon sighed. He had started to pick the pieces of glass and flowers to throw away when a note caught his eyes. The note was clipped to one of the flowers.
" 'To Rain Mikamura:
My Dear Rain,
I Do hope you are feeling better!
I hope you like my flowers...
I know cooperating with a
broken heart must be hard... But...
Now, I would so ever be grateful
if you may grace me with your presence
at the Winter Formal dance in a weeks.
I Would love to hear your response.
Goodbye My dear!
© Hideo Fuyo...' " Domon read with disgust. "Hideo?! Why him?! And What was her answer?!" He yelled aloud.
Rain must have heard for she looked out her window and glared at him.
"Domon Kasshu! My answer to Hideo Fuyo's question was 'Yes'! I Would LOVE to go with such a gentleman as he!" She yelled angrily.
Domon's heart were crushed by her words. "Why...?" He asked, barely able to believe what she had said. His face must have shown the pain and hurt for Rain looked away instantly.
"Good Night Domon Kasshu..." She said strongly closing her window, as Domon sunk to the floor, his heart writhing in pain.
~*~*~Rain's Bedroom~*~*~
Rain felt a sudden surge of guilt after she closed the window. "He doesn't want to go with me... I know deep down, he wants only Allenby... I know it!" She said strongly, ignoring her hearts pain as the words left her mouth.
She found her self sniffling again. "I won't cry.." She stubbornly wiped her tears away, only to see they wouldn't stop coming. "Stop it." She tried to tell herself sternly, but it only ended up a sob. Her eyes were brimming with tears from her broken heart and her fears. Her fear of actually being loved.
I know, This chapter isn't exactly the best... I'm Sorry!!! I've been out of it... so yeah.... Sorries if you don't like it much!
