Rain and Domon sat there in the kitchen/living room of their hotel room. Rain was looking through several old photo albums. They had dozens of pictures of Raven. It had been exactly twelve years since Raven had been kidnapped. A single tear rolled down her cheek and a soft sigh escaped her lips. Domon looked over at her and saw the shiny trail the tear had left on her cheek.

"Rain I told you that you shouldn't look at those", Domon said gently as he pulled the photo album from her hands. His eyes traveled down to one of the pictures on the page Rain was on. It was a picture of when Domon had held Raven for the first time. He could tell that George had taken it instead of Chibodee because it was one of the few that were well focused. Chibodee was usually more interested in the tops of people's heads than their faces when he had a camera.

"I know", Rain said quietly. "I just can't help but wonder where she is right now, if she's okay. It's still so hard to believe that our baby is gone."

Domon silently traced the outline of the picture. He had been so proud that day. Kyogi had been bouncing off the walls of the waiting room with Chibodee, George, Sia Sici, Argo, and all the girls. He had asked Chibodee when his little sister was going to get there every five minutes. Kyogi had only been three at the time. Chibodee had even threatened to tape his mouth shut.

"What are you thinking about?" Rain asked him.

"I was thinking about the day Raven was born", Domon told her. "Do you remember how excited Kyogi was? Chibodee threatened to tape his mouth shut if he asked when Raven would get there one more time."

"Why wasn't I ever told about that?" Rain asked.

"Chibodee didn't want you to kill him", Domon said shrugging his shoulders. "I hope I'm not in trouble for saying that."

"Don't worry I won't tell Chibodee", Rain assured him.

"Justin give me back my hair band right now!" a voice called out from the hallway. Suddenly the door burst open. Chibodee and Kyogi entered the room. Footsteps were heard running down the hallway.

"Well if it ain't Japanese and the lady", Chibodee said as he walked in. "Justin and his new friend are here. I guess they are to busy chasing each other down the hallway to come and say hello."

As if on schedule Raye and Justin's footsteps were once again heard thundering down the hallway only this time in the opposite direction. "Justin I'm serious!" Raye yelled again.

"Will you two cut it out and remember your manners?" Chibodee called to them.

"Sorry!" Justin called running past the open door. "My manners are still back at the airport."

"Got ya!" Raye called as she jumped on Justin's back. "Now give me back my hair band."

Justin burst through the door with Raye still on his back. Raye's long black hair almost completely covered her face. Raye slid off and pulled her hair back into its usual ponytail. Domon and Rain looked at the young girl. Recognition flashed across her face for a second then disappeared.

"I'm really sorry about that", she said apologetically. "I know that was terribly rude, but someone stole my hair band." Raye glared over at Justin. "I had to reclaim it."

Domon looked at Raye. She looked so familiar. She looked like an older Raven. She had the same fierce brown eyes and shinny black hair. Even her expression was the same. It was a mixture of curiosity, intelligence, and fun. Yet Domon decided not to confront her. She would run off if she felt pressured. Domon wanted his daughter back but he didn't want to force her to come back. Plus, there was always the chance that he was wrong.
