"I saw him." Kina gasped.

"Saw who?" Rain asked.

"Serena's murderer." Kina told her.

"Who?" Rain asked again as she wiped the sweat off of Kina's forehead.

"You wouldn't believe me."

"Tell me."

"It was my Father." Kina whispered as she looked at Rain.

Rain's eyes had widened, and her face paled at Kina's statement, "Are you sure that it was him?"

"Yes, I most positive. I saw who and where the bullet was fired off. You watch your dreams tonight and see." Kina pointed out.

"I'm not saying that I don't believe you. But, I'll watch my dreams tonight." Rain nodded.

"How's Kyoji?" Kina asked Rain.

"He's fine. Luckily, it looked like he had been shot in the same place once before, so, I just quickly closed up the wound. I think his body will recover quickly." Rain reassured.

"Yo, Kina? Let's get back to the training. I'm sure we'll still have the ceremony tomorrow." Domon said as he came out of the shadows.

Kina looked back, "Yeah. But don't you mean in a few hours? It's now two o'clock."

Domon looked at a nearby clock, "Right. Whatever. You've got the moves down pretty well. Now, let's try it in the Gundams. Okay?"

Kina nodded, "Right!" then she blew a kiss in the air and cried, "Angel!"

Domon hopped into God Gundam and started it up. The battle suit went down over his head and over the rest of his body.

When Supreme Angel Master Gundam landed at the Neo-Japanese base, Kina took a running leap into it. The purple battle suit went down over her body, and the cream strips ran up her leg. Kina jumped up, spun around-which released her from the from the floor of the Gundam, a white bow wrapped around her waist, then went in-between her chest, finally ended around her neck. She spread her wings, and prepared herself for the moves Domon had taught her.

"Ready?" Domon smirked.

"I guess as ready as I'll ever be." Kina chuckled.

"Just relax and picture the moves in your mind." Domon instructed, "We only have a few hours left, and both of us need our sleep."

"I know. So, let's get this right the first time." Kina winked.

"Ready?" Domon asked her.

"Right!" She calmed herself, preparing herself.

Domon started it off, "The school of the undefeated of the East!"
Kina chimed in, "The winds of the king!"

Domon started throwing punches at Kina, "Zeinshin!"

Kina threw punches back at him, "Karetsu!"

Then both chimed in together, "Tempa Kurean!" Kina gulped, knowing this is the part she hated. She quickly calmed herself again, and leaned back on her left leg, stretching out her right. Her left fist met with Domon's right, and she pulled her arm to where it made a right angle with her shoulder, placed her palm up, and curved her fingers in a bear-like claw, "Look the East is burning red!" They stayed in that position for a moment, then stood back up.

"As George would say, Bravo!" Domon clapped, "Kyoji told me you were a quick learner. I look forward to our match, if we have one."

"Same here. But, lemme ask you something, why did you pick me?" Kina asked him.

"Because, I wanted Serena to see exactly how far you had come since you two separated." Domon sighed as a single tear went down his face, "Whoever killed her is gonna suffer."

"Let's make him suffer together." Kina smirked.

"You know who it is?!"

"Yes, unfortunately."

"Who?"

"My Father."

"Y…you're Father?"

Kina nodded and watched the sun rise, "But we'll think about that later. Right now, I've gotta get some sleep!" Kina yawned as she mentally summoned the Gundam to pull back the battle suit. She pulled in her wings and pulled back on her clothes.

Domon yawned, "Yeah, you're right. See ya later!" He waved as Kina walked away. Supreme Angel Master Gundam disappeared.

As Kina walked back to her hotel, it hit her, "Kyoji!" She exclaimed as she slapped herself on the forehead.

"What?"

"Ky….Kyoji?" Kina stuttered as she turned around.

"What? Was I forgotten by my beloved girl?" Kyoji smirked.

Kina noticed that he was holding his shoulder, but looked to be fine. Kina smiled, "Here," She offered, backing up, "relieve that shoulder of the stress your putting it under by having your hand there."

"Domo." Kyoji nodded and he slipped his arm over her shoulder.

As the two walked down the street, Kina thought of something, "Does Rain know that you left?"

"Yep. Domon and her encouraged me to follow you. I wondered how long it would take before you would remember." Kyoji smiled.

"Gomenasi. I'm just so tired, I didn'…"

Kyoji put a finger to her mouth, "Don't worry. I understand." He told her.

Kina smiled, feeling a hot redness start to cross her face. Then, something told her that someone was behind her. Kina looked over her shoulder, to see a red car slowly coming up beside them. Kina sweat-dropped, "Neo-America at 8." She warned Kyoji.

"Hey, love birds! Need a ride to your nest?" Sure enough, it was none other than Chibodee Crockett of Neo-America.

Kyoji and Kina nodded and maneuvered to the red car of Chibodee's. Chibodee helped Kyoji into the back seat, and Kina followed. Once Chibodee started the car back up, Kina leaned up, "Where's your crew?"

Chibodee sighed, "Out. They got paid a few days ago, so they went on a major shopping spree here in Neo-Japan. Said that they'd be out all night. So I was left alone to do one of two things, stay home and get drunk, or go out on a drive and check out all the pretty ladies."

"So, you can take a few of those pretty ladies home with you, right? And then get drunk?" Kyoji remarked.

"Well, I got one, didn't I?" Chibodee smirked, looking back in his rear view mirror at Kyoji, whose eyes had narrowed at him.

Kina looked around, wondering what the hell Chibodee was talking about. Then it hit her, which caused her fist to hit Chibodee on the head, "Watch it." She warned, "I'm already taken."

Chibodee rubbed his head, "Ouch! Good thing you did that at a stop sign! So where are we going? Neo-Germany's or Neo-Antarctica's?" He asked, looking at the two.

"Neo-Antarctica's." They both said at the same time.

"Righty-oh." Chibodee nodded as he turned a corner.

Soon after, Chibodee got to the Neo-Antarctica domain. He parked as he looked up at the building and whistled, "How'd ya get your icy hands on this building?" He asked Kina.

"Dunno. Eve told me that it was mine, and I never pursued it." Kina responded as she helped Kyoji out of the car. Chibodee started to get out, but Kina stopped him, "We've got it from here. Get back to your girls. Plus, you need the sleep for tomorrow."

"True. See ya!" Chibodee waved as he zoomed out of the parking lot.

Kyoji and Kina sighed in dismay and walked into the place where Kina stayed. When they went inside, Kyoji sighed, "Damn, I'm bushed!" He stretched.

"You're not the only one!" Kina pointed out as she closed the door behind her. She went up on her tip-toes, wrapped her arms around his neck, and leaned her head up against his neck. She closed her eyes, hoping to fall asleep.

Kyoji smiled. He felt Kina breathe against his neck, and it took all of him not to overdo it. Kyoji squatted down, lifted up her legs, and carried her, piggy back style, into her room.

When Kyoji opened the door to Kina's room, he headed towards the bed. When he got to the bed, he turned his back to the bed, and gently laid Kina down. He set her straight on the bed, and turned to walk out.

"Kyoji?" Kina yawned, "Where are you going?" She asked him.

Kyoji turned around, wide eyed, "To the living room." He told her.

"That couch is horrible to sleep comfortable on," She stated as she sat up, "You sleep in here and I'll go on the couch."

"You've got a more important job tomorrow, you need your rest more than I do."

"Fine, compromise. You stay here with me," Kyoji's eyes grew wider. Kina glared at him, "Not that way you baka!* I'm too tired to do that!"

"O….kay." Kyoji still stared at her with some disbelief as he sat down on the other side of the queen size bed. He laid down, his head right next to hers. He felt her arm lay over his chest, and her head on his shoulder. 'She's asleep again.' He thought as he rolled over on his side and wrapped his arm around her waist.

The sun peaked through the blinds, reflecting on Kina's face. She groaned as she rolled on her other side, not wanting to wake up. Then, realization hit, where the heck was Kyoji? Kina quickly opened her eyes, but took her time sitting up.

"Hey, hon. Nice sleep?"

Kina turned her head over to her closet to see Kyoji, slipping on another white shirt with the poofy collar, and tucking the ends underneath the waist of his tight brown pants. Kina yawned, "Ya know, you don't really hafta dress up today, right?"

"Yes, I do. It's where the Gundam Fighters and their Gundams are presented today in front of everyone. That's why our Gundams were waxed and polished." Kyoji told her as he pulled on his boots. He tossed her clothes at her, "Here. Get dressed. I'm going to make breakfast while you get dressed." He told her as he turned to leave.

"Kyoji?" Kina looked at him with pleading eyes.

"Yeah?" He turned back around.

"What's wrong?" She asked him.

Kyoji felt himself lighten up, "I'm just nervous about today. I have a really bad feeling that something's gonna happen today. That's all." He smiled as he leaned down to her, catching her lips in a quick kiss.

When they separated, Kina slowly moved her legs to the side of the bed, "No pizza."

Kyoji leaned back, "What are you talking about?" Kyoji asked her.

"Don't fix pizza for breakfast. I know you boys have a habit of wanting to eat pizza for breakfast." Kina smirked as she picked up her shirt.

Kyoji leaned forward again, right in her face, "Aw, but, hon, it's what helps us boys grow into men!" He protested.

"Well, I haven't seen that particular transformation happen yet," She muttered, "Unless growing into a man means having a gut." She smirked as she patted Kyoji's stomach.

Kyoji chuckled, "Well, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach!"

"Get outta here!" Kina exclaimed as she pushed his outta the room, "And make sure you don't catch that blouse of yours on fire!" With that, Kina shut the door.

"It's not a blouse! It's a dressy form of a tux shirt!" Kyoji defended as he heard the door shut.

"Yeah, yeah, sure, whatever, hon!" Kina exclaimed in a sarcastic tone as she slipped off her shirt and slipped on her other one. When she got her whole outfit on, she realized Kyoji was right. She didn't want to look like a slob, she had to look presentable. She looked through her closet to find a purple shirt, like the black one she wore the night before, and a pair of khaki Capri's. Kina slipped on a pair of Japanese-like sandals, and went to dresser to fix her hair. She rolled her hair up in a bun, with little strands hanging out.

Kina opened the door to the smell of bacon and eggs. Kyoji was just finishing setting up the table, when he heard her coming down the hall. He chuckled, "So, you did decide to wear that."

"Yeah," Kina muttered, "Wait a sec, and how do you know what I have to wear?!" She inquired as she sat down at the table.

"Boredom." Kyoji admitted as he sat on the opposite end.

Kina sighed, 'Well, at least he's truthful!' she thought as she served herself some scrambled eggs and picked up a piece of bacon. Kina sat the bowl of scrambled eggs down, letting Kyoji have some.

Kyoji looked into the bowl, "Hey! Next time, leave some for me!"

Kina took a bite, "Well, you shouldn't have let me go first!" She took another bite, "Wow! This is good!"

"It's the spice. It's a quick recipe my mom used to make to put on our scrambled eggs when Domon, Serena, and I were younger." Kyoji told her as he took a bite of it.

Kina noticed that Kyoji's attitude suddenly went sulky. Kina knew that it was killing him because he couldn't protect Serena, but it was also killing her.

Kyoji stretched his arm out to grab the remote off of the TV stand by the dining area. He clicked on the TV, "Commercials." He groaned.

Kina got up and walked over to Kyoji's side. She brushed an unwilling strand out of his eyes. She knew her eyes were filling up, but she wondered how Kyoji could hold them in so long. But when she brushed that unwilling strand out of his eyes, she realized, when he looked at her, that his stern blue eyes were filling up. Kina smiled, and pulled him over to the couch. Kyoji looked at her with confusion in his eyes as Kina sat down, and yanked on his arm for him to sit down. He nodded as he sat down next to her.

Kina wrapped her arms around his neck, "It's okay to grieve. I won't be turned off if you cry." She assured as she whispered in his ear.

Kyoji was shocked to hear her say that, 'but she's right.' He thought as he wrapped his arms around her waist. It was then he felt the dam holding his tears back, gave in, letting them flow out of his eyes, "I'm so stupid." He muttered.

Kina pulled back. Kyoji noticed that tears were coming out of her eyes. Kina sniffed, "What do you mean by that?"

Kyoji wiped the tears that were coming out of her left eye with his gloved hand, "I forgot that you were close to her, as well."

Kina smiled as she wrapped herself closer to him, "Don't worry about it." She muttered in his shirt. This time, he felt her tears flow down his shirt.

"We interrupt this program to bring you this live update about the upcoming Gundam Fight Championship," Kina and Kyoji stopped crying long enough to look at the television screen, "There has been a withdrawal from the championship."

"Who?!" The duo asked the announcer.

"Neo-Denmark called in just a few moments ago. His reason is probably one that everyone can agree on. Just last night, Serena Kasshu, the younger sister to Domon Kasshu of Neo-Japan, and Kyoji Kasshu of Neo-Germany, was shot. She was pronounced dead on arrival. Serena Kasshu was apparently engaged to Neo-Denmark's fighter and were planning on getting married after the Gundam tournament."

"Engaged?!" Kina exclaimed as she looked at Kyoji.

"Married?!" Kyoji exclaimed as he looked at Kina.

"How come we didn't know?!" They both exclaimed at the same time.

"Did Domon know?" Kyoji asked Kina.

"I dunno. He's your brother for Kami's sake!" Kina responded back.

The TV broadcaster continued, "There are four main suspects, the main being Neo-Antarctica's own, Kina Motsuya, who was apparently at Neo-Japan's place, practicing for the opening ceremonies today."

"Nani?!" The duo asked one another.

"The second suspect is Cecil Holgar, Hans Holgar of Neo-Denmark's little sister. Third, is Serena's own brother, Domon Kasshu. And the last suspect is Rain Mikamura, a Neo-Japanese technician for God Gundam."

"Why would Domon/Rain/Cecil do such a crime? Only my Father would be capable of doing something like that!" Kina yelled as she jumped out of Kyoji's grip. She growled under her breath as she curled up her fist, her eyes fixed on the television set.

"Now, today, after the opening ceremonies, Kina Motsuya, Domon Kasshu, Rain Mikamura will be obtained for questioning. Young Cecil Holgar is being questioned at this very moment. Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming."

"Dammit!" Kina cursed, "That damned Eve will do anything to keep me out of our match!"

"I know. But, we've got to rush! We'll worry about this later. Finish getting ready! We've gotta book!" Kyoji rushed her.

"Right!" Kina nodded as she ran to the bathroom to brush her teeth. After she finished this, she ran some lip gloss over her lips.

Kyoji cleaned up the dishes, and finished putting them away as the Kina dashed out. He slipped on his trench coat and the two of them dashed out the door, only making a quick stop to lock the door.
