Dude,I am way beyond sorry if I bugged anyone with the dictionary words. I just didn't want sentences that say, "The puppy ran to the other puppies who had a puppy meeting." Instead, I looked in the thesaurus for cooler sounding words. Dumb, I know, I just wanted to do it..... sorry if it makes me seem to childish in writing. *Begs for forgiveness* Anyways, back to the story. This chapter....will make you want to knock my lights out. Kill me. Anything resulting in pain. So feel free to run for a pillow for support. Phwee! Oh, and good job Shadow! ^_^ Akage does mean 'Red Head' in japanese! Okay, I have no idea why a french knight would name his son a hair color in romanji, but what the heck. George is one weird guy. And sadly, you didn't get Argo's daughter, Jiyuu. (Sorry, I misspelled it at the bottom) It roughly means, "Free". Unless I am terribly mistaken. I just couldn't think of a cool name!! Sorry if it was too corny. But you still get a special prize, Shadow! *Whistles, and a giant Gundam comes. It suddenly makes a cool pose and kudos and leprachauns pour out of it's hand. Yay! Leprachauns! You may take them.* Thanks everyone for the reviews! Hmm. Leggy, do the disclaimer.
Legolas: Hannah doesn't own anything. Yeah. I think. Just read it!

"I...I..." Domon began. He was trying his hardest to choke down his tears. "I...choose...to..." Rain was shaking her head from side to side. She managed to gasp a 'No!'. Domon gritted his teeth. "I'll go with you." The man smiled devilishly and Rain had tears sprawling out her eyes. The man slowly let go of her neck.
"And don't think that once I turn my back, you can kill me. I'm keeping my gun on your wife until you walk out that door. My assassins will take you to where you shall be executed." The man said to Domon, flashing a sly smile. Domon looked at the floor in disgust. "Now," the man said as he turned back to Rain. "How 'bout a goodbye kiss?" The sickening beast of a man snarled, with a twist of sweetness on his tongue. Rain turned her head away. The man forced her into a horrible kiss, with his forked tongue lashing into her mouth. She eventually pulled away and she covered her face. All this while, Domon has watched in horror and trembled in anger. He would kill this man. No matter what. "You've got a mighty fine kisser of a wife there,Domon. Too bad you'll never kiss her again." Domon was about to walk over and beat the man's face in when his eyes strayed over to Rain's. Her hands had dropped to her side. He noticed that her eyes had rolled into her head-she had fainted. But from what? Then his eyes eyes had wandered over to the man's arm. It was behind Rain's back. Then he noticed the thing that held it together. A sharp point of metal was sticking out of Rain's stomach. Blood began seeping onto the floor. The man had stabbed Rain.
"You....you....MONSTER!!" Domon screamed as he lunged at the man.
"Hey, I never said I wouldn't harm her. I just said I wouldn't shoot her in the head. Now let's go. She's a doctor; she can fix it herself!" The brute answered. Domon was about to pummel him, but he suddenly stopped. Domon had a grin growing on his face. The man raised an eyebrow and turned his head around. Suddenly, a shadow of a body lashed out and hit the man over the head. He fell unconscious to the floor.
"Thanks a lot," Domon said thankfully. "Kiral."(Gasp!) The ex-assassin stepped into the light.
"I'm surprised you recognize me, Domon Kasshu. But we must speak later. I'll teach this man a lesson when he wakes up, and you tend to your wife." Kiral said quickly(Kiral is just so cool! ^____^). Domon nodded and ran to Rain. He tore off her shirt to reveal that the knife was still lodged inside her back.
"Oh God," Domon whispered.
"Pull the knife out. Then put pressure on the wound-it should stop it from bleeding." Kiral said cooly, surprising Domon. 'How does he know that she was stabbed?' Domon thought. His hands trembled as he reached for the knife. He shut his eyes tightly when he grabbed the hilt and reluctantly thrust it out. He heard Rain gasp and her arm twitch in pain. He thought that she was still asleep! She breathed heavily, and blood poured from her stomach. He cooed in her ear to not move, and tears rained onto the carpet. She screeched out of pain when Domon pushed on her open wound.
"Don't worry. We'll get this healed. Just hold on," Domon said persistently as he threw her gently over his shoulder. Her warm blood seeped into his shirt. He ran out the door and grabbed his cellphone. He called 911,and they said they would arrive ASAP. "But that will take to long," Domon thought.
"Wha-what happened?!?!" A group of people shouted at Domon. he turned around to see the Shuffles with shocked, confused, and scared faces.
"What happened to Sis!?"
"What in the world happened here, Neo-Japan!?"
"What is wrong with Madmoiselle Rain!?"
"Answer us!" The whole group said in unison.
"No time to explain! I'm waiting for the ambulance!" Domon screamed. Blood was now dripping down his arm and forming a pool at his feet. "Man! They are taking forever! I'll have to take her there myself!" Domon shouted to himself.
"Woah, woah, Domon! This'll only make whatever happened to her worse!" Chibodee yelled at him. Domon was ready to call out his gundam and drag Rain to the hospital. Domon gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. George helped Rain of Domon shoulder, slightly blushing at the fact that her shirt had been torn off.
"Domon, give me your cloak. We need to wrap it around the wound." George said, surprising him. Domon quickly unclipped it and handed it to George. George wrapped it around Rain's soft body, now drenched in blood(Violence!Blood! I'm sorry, I just can't help it!). "She was stabbed; correct?" George said cooly. Domon stared at the ground and nodded.
"How did you know all that, Frenchie?" Chibodee asked as he knelt down next to Rain, examining her. She was wearing a pained expression. "Neo-Japan! She's awake right now, you dummy!"
"What?! I thought she had fainted again by now!" Domon said as he jumped to the floor before Rain. He put his hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes. "Rain, Rain... just hold on. Help is coming." Rain blinked slowly and began to move. "Don't move! Just stay calm!" Domon said as Rain was about to stand up. She inhaled deeply and was cut short by a sudden shock of pain. Her hands slowly rushed to her stomach. Her mouth opened slightly and her eyes bulged slightly.
"Do-Domon? I....I can't breathe...."She whispered. She held out her hands, revealing hands soaked in blood. "I... can't do it. I can't...can't go on." She gasped.
"No! Stop thinking like that! You'll get through this!We'll get through this!" Domon screamed into her face while holding her shoulders. tears streamed down her face, and she gasped.
"Tell Kyoji....he will be fine without me. Tell him I loved him. It's....time for me to go." Rain said, pain clenching on to every word. The Shuffles watched in horror as the woman they respected and cared for admitted her defeat. The end of her life.
"I...can't have you leave! Kyoji still needs you! I still need you! We'll get help....just stop...stop talking like this! You can't....you can't leave!" Domon shrieked. Tears rained from his eyes and the salty fluid streamed down his cheeks. He wrapped his arms around her, careful not to touch her open wound. She slowly lifted her arms and draped her arms around his neck. She quietly sobbed in pain. She slowly dropped to her knees.
"Goodbye, Domon." Rain whispered. Domon's knees buckled and he became level with her. He squeezed her, assuring her not to give up. She pushed away from him. She lifted her face to him, and ingulfed herself in a final kiss. Domon's hands caressed her face, and Rain's hands dropped to the ground. She stopped stirring. Her mouth released it's grip on Domon's lips. She fell silent. And to the ground she went. Domon's heart stopped. This couldn't be happening. His hand burned with wrath and fury. The crest was shining brightly. Domon clenched his fist, and put his face over Rain's. No warm breath washed onto his face. He unclenched his hand and rest it on Rain's forehead. His hands ruffled through her bang.
"I...." Domon started. He was trying hard to even speak t all. "I need you. Don't leave me! I'll...never...I'll never be able to go on with out you. Don't do this to me!" Domon cried. "This....crest....it.... gave me so much pain in my life. I...I'm getting rid of this stupid crest. No one should suffer like I had to! No one!" Domon screamed. He slammed his fist into the ground. The Shuffles ran over and comforted him until the ambulance arrived. They took Rain away. Domon knew it was to late. He figured something out that day: The group known as "ASA" had fulfilled their mission. They truly had killed the King of Hearts.
