"The same thing happened to me. Some thugs started chasin' me in the subway in my own hometown," The Neo-American said.
"Well, it looks like we are all in deep trouble. Misseour Domon the most, presumably." A certain french night added. The whole group nodded.
"Yeah bro, they didn't send an assassin or a bomb to kill us. Just some hired goons."The leader of the Shaolin Temple chimed in. As usual, the Neo-Russian kept quiet. Everyone talked on for a while, unsure of what to do.
"This group....ASA," Rain said quietly. Everyone turned their heads to see what she would say. "They might go after someone close to you, in order to get to you. Keep your children under close watch at all times." Some of the group had horrified faces on or a disgusted one. Chibodee and Sai had yet to have children (and Sai wasn't even married yet!), while George and Argo each had at least one child. Rain apologized for thinking so darkly, but the group said it was something that they all had to do- think like the enemy. They all put their heads down to think. Rain had called a meeting with the Shuffle Alliance obviously, to speak about the people out to get their lives.
"This is just so totally unbelievable!" Chibodee yelled. He slammed his fist on the table. George calmed Chibodee, but the truth was, they were all very uptight.
"We have to find out someway to get to them before they get to us!" Sai said. "Do you guys-(sees Rain)erm, people- have any ideas where they could be?" Everyone pondered for a few moments.
"We should start a search party," Chibodee suggested.
"No," Rain answered somewhat sharply. Everyone raised an eyebrow. "For one, they could be anywhere in the world. Two, we need to stick together for a while. Who knows if they launch a huge assault on one of us, and if we work together we can handle everyone right away." Everyone nodded and sat in wait. Because that was all that they could do. Wait. To lighten the mood, George began asking the group how they were doing. Chibodee was planning on marrying Shirley sometime soon, and he had yet to accomplish his dream. Argo had a little girl named Jiyuu, and was now a free bird. George was now the King of France(!!!) and he and Marie were living with their precious little boy, Akage. Sai had fully revived the Shaolin Temple, with his girlfriend Cecil by his side. It seemed like Domon and Rain were leading pretty boring lives compared to everyone else. But that didn't matter to Rain. Just the thought of being with her family was good enough. But Rain became frightened at the thought of what happened if the assassination attempts came out positive- the thought of Domon being murdered was to much for her to handle. She shook her head. She didn't want to cry in front of her friends. Instead, she excused herself. The Shuffles watched as she scurried into her room. Chibodee lifted an eyebrow, but George shook his head as a signal for him not to follow. They nodded and thought about how everyone else important to them must be feeling. Meanwhile, Rain had flopped carelessy(?) on to her bed and squeezed her pillow tightly, as if it was her only connection to the world. Tears seared their way down her cheeks. She sobbed quietly until she fell into a light sleep. In about 45 minutes, the Shuffles decided to leave, but George said he would be right back. George made his way back to Rain's room, and he frowned at what he saw. He saw Rain huddled into a ball hugging her pillow, obviously asleep. He had never seen her that broken. He walked over to her bedside and covered her with the blanket that was scrunched at the end of the bed. She had a smile at the corner of her mouth. George looked once more at her tear stained cheeks as he walked out of the room. He thought of how horrible it was if he were to see Marie in a state that terrible. He locked the door on the way out of the house and hung out with the Shuffles. This whole time, Domon was with his father, trying to find more info on the ASA. Domon decided that he should go home and spend time with his family while he can, not knowing when the assassins would strike next. He told his father goodbye and clipped on his cloak.(I love that big shiny yellow button!) He hopped into the Lander yet again and headed home(He had been at an official-government place thingy.).
"Rain.....Rain..." Domon whistled as he unlocked the door. There was no reply. "Hmm, she must be asleep," Domon said aloud. He jogged into the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water, which he hastily chugged down. He wiped of the water moustache that had appeared and set his glass down with a thud on the table. He then heard an odd noise. He stopped and listened carefully. It sounded like....someone was struggling. He turned around to see that his back door was unlocked and opened ajar. "What? I thought I told Rain not to leave the house," He said to himself as he closed and locked the door. He then heard the noise again and decided to investigate. He walked up into Kyoji's room upstairs to find him napping cosily in his bed. He smiled and closed the door tightly. He turned his head from side to side. Suddenly, he heard something that made him freeze in his steps. 3 gunshots. Screams of terror and pain. A thud. Those noises were all he could hear as he ran to the source of all of the clamor. He gasped and stood for a moment in shock.(Sound familiar?) He had ran down the stairs and into his room- where he found the most terrifying scene he had ever laid eyes upon. His wife had her knees buckled to the floor. Someone was holding her, squeezing her across the neck with one arm. He had a gun pointed to Rain's temple. The ceiling had three holes in it. Domon just gaped.
"Now," the mystery man spat with a voice as cold and hard as ice. "You probably know why I am here. To kill you. But I thought,'Hey, why not have some fun while I'm there?' So, I decided to let you choose. Give yourself up and come with me, or your wife's head here, well, goes kabluey. Got that?" Rain had tears burning her cheeks. She was breathing heavily, as she gulped for a small breath of air. She could barely breathe with the man choking her. She managed a slow, but sure shake of the head(As in she shook a no...). She would die before knowing that Domon was being killed while she could do nothing. Domon's lip quivered. He....couldn't believe this was happening. He knew he shouldn't have left her alone. "Oh, and on a side note, if you don't agree with our terms, I have assassins at my beck and call. They can and will find your son- and beat him to death." The man's eyes danced wildly with joy. It was finally happening. What he had been planning for years. A tear slid down Domon's face. And many more followed.
"I...I...." Domon began. "I..choose to..."
