A New Challenge

" SIT BOY! Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, SIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kagome was furious with InuYasha, and decided to "sit" him a million times since she had forgotten to do it before. " Come on Kagome! I really couldn't help it!" InuYasha spoke, finally exhaling after getting the wind knocked out of him from Kagome sitting him to death. " Oh really? Well here's something I can't help doing either, SIT!!!!!!!!!!!!" InuYaha, once again, said hello to the cold, hard, cement ground. " Ha, ha InuYasha! Kagome got you good!" Mocked the little kitsune, practically falling off the post he was positioned on. " You're lucky there are witnesses Shippo." InuYasha fought back with death in his voice. Shippo just gave a sly smile, then stuck out his tongue and pulled down one eyelid with his finger. " Why you little pest!" InuYasha immediately jumped up to a standing position and began to charge Shippo, despite Kagome's gathering furry. Just as she was about to scream out another attack of "sits ", she was interrupted by the Japanese fighter. " Shut up! You people are so busy fighting that you've completely forgotten what you're fighting about! I'll save Rain without you demons!" With that, Domon briskly turned around and threw his blood, red cape over his shoulder and turned to leave what he considered strangers.

Though he was silent on the outside as he walked away, his mind was screaming and pounding at his heart, ' Do whatever it takes to win Rain back! Even if it does mean you have to work with the ones who are partially responsible for her leaving you.'

He didn't get very far before someone called back to him with halting words, as it seemed to her, but pierced right through Domon like a thick arrow. " Wait, Dmon Kasshu of Neo Japan!" It was Kagome, of coarse, but she didn't stop there. She walked up to Domon quickly, but made sure she kept her distance. " First of all, I'm not a demon so you better recognize! Ehem, second of all, your our gundam fighter and its really important for you to concentrate on fighting right? So we'll find a way to change your partner back to a regular human again no matter what!" She smiled sweetly as if to tell him that there was nothing to worry about. But Domon's mind was not easily calmed, and his pride was too big for his heart to overcome, so his face showed no appreciation as he turned his back to the girl. " She's no longer my partner." Those were the last words he spoke to her, and no more words were spoken back as he walked away. 'You fool.' his mind whispered to him as he continued to pace down the street.

Kagome just turned to look at InuYasha, the furry from her unfinished business that Domon had interrupted gleamed in her eyes. Another death glare. " Sleep with your eyes OPEN tonight InuYasha."

~ Rain ~

I walked the same path as I had done the night before, cold and lonely. I went past the market, past the government building, past the hangar where they kept Burning Gundam. My eyes were still red and puffy from my previous tear session over that traitor Kyoji. I still missed him though. I wish I could just wake up from this nightmare and be in my bed, realizing it was all just a long and painful dream. I wish that Kyoji would be standing there right next to my bed, like he always did when I had a bad dream and, once again, reassure me that everything was ok. and that he was there for me. But that would never happen again, not now, not ever.

" Life's a bitch." I said aloud. That was my favorite motto for whenever I was down, real down. I had pretty much lost everything in my life that was important to me. I've lost my mother, my friends, Seitt, Kyoji, and now Domon. Not saying that I have it worse than him, I mean come on! He's lost his mother, his father is in a sleeping state, his brother had fled to Earth in an evil gundam, hoping to take over the world and is probably dead, and his master has turned against him and wants to kill him. ' But I feel no pity for him now. Why should I? I have no relation with him now, and besides, when has he ever cared about me? Well, he has a few times, but they cannot be explained considering that he just went back to his old ways again afterwards. That fool, he's such a baby. Him and that damn Allenby. It'll be too soon before I see either of them again!'

I strayed a little ways longer until I found a dock coming forth from the beach into the water. No roads or buildings surrounded it, just the beach. I walked onto the dock and stood on the edge as I looked down into the water. I saw my own reflection, ears and all. 'I hate these dog-ears. They were the cause of me having to see Domon again which makes it even harder for me to leave now. What am I saying? I CANT leave now because of these ears, at least not until InuYasha finds a cure, and I guarantee that Domon is going to help and try to reel me back onto the Neo Japan team and just hurt me all over again. But this time, I wont let him.'

I continued to look into the water until I caught glimpse of the moon's reflection. Its glimmer seemed to hypnotize me as my eyes strayed from its reflection to the moon itself. It was very large and full, the most beautiful I have ever seen it, though I have looked at it many times before. I continued to stare into it, my hair blowing softly in the wind. I didn't dare move, didn't dare make a sound. Silence until. " AH!" A serge of pain rushed through my body from the tips of my ears, to the tip of my tail like a lightning bolt. " What was that?" I whispered into the dead of the night, my words cutting through the silence like a knife. Another serge of pain went through my body. It was the same feeling accept slower. It came back again accept this time it didn't disappear, it stayed. It was overwhelming enough in my body, but it hurt even more in my dog-ears and in my tail. As if that weren't enough, my head started pounding as well and my vision started to blur. I felt dizzy and nauseous at the same time. I grabbed my head in determination, but it didn't do me much. All went black, and I fell to the ground. revengeful.

~ Domon ~

I had been walking for hours, too determined to stop for even the shortest rest. ' Where could she be? I've looked everywhere and still no sign of her raindrop, blue eyes that I love so much.' I thought to myself. I wanted to run my hands through her hair at least one more time. I wanted to see some sign that she's within my grasp so badly. But deep within me, I could feel that it would be a bad idea. Something within me warned me to stay away from her, that I would in be in danger, and so would she. I hated that feeling and refused to listen to it. I kept walking, craving in my eyes. Why did she have to be like this? Why did I have to be like this? " Life's a bitch." I spoke my favorite saying.

" Domon!" My chocolate orbs darted to the corners of my eyes. It was Kagome and InuYasha and they were running towards me at full speed. This time, it was InuYasha's turn to speak as soon as they reached me. " Domon, I sense a full blooded demon close by. And it seems very familiar. I think it may have something to do with." Right before he could finish his sentence, Rain burst from the ground before them. But she wasn't herself. She still had the dog-ears, tail, fangs and claws, but her natural appearance had changed. Her hair was longer and pulled back in a ponytail while her eyes went from blue to a moonlit gold. She was wearing the same outfit that she had on before accept that the dress was now black and the vest and belt were now red.

She landed in front of the group and stared at Domon as the whole group stared back at her. " No! It can't be! Kira?" InuYasha spoke with astonishment as he stepped towards the demon. " What are you talking about InuYasha?" Kagome asked with concern. InuYasha just stood there, trembling and starring at Rain.or what looked like her. " You cant be here, its impossible, your dead. But that would mean that your. Domon! That's Rain!" The demon made no movements or new facial expressions at this realization, but just continued to stare at Domon. " What do you mean that's Rain? Its not possible that this demon could be her." Domon stated, refusing to believe that Rain had completely transformed into this spine-tingling demon. " Domon. I wont let you leave me all alone again." Rain finally spoke with a hypnotized voice as she stepped closer to Domon.
