Project: Earth Restoration

Kioji was still in the shower when his younger brother came in as fast as he possibly could. He lifted the seat of the toilet and

threw up. " Domon, you had a ruff night with Chibodee?" " Arg, *cough* *cough*." was Domon's response. " I guess you did."

Kioji said with a smirk. Domon flushed the toilet and left. Kioji screamed as the cold water caught him off guard.

" DOOOOOOMON!" Domon laughed slightly, and collapsed on his bed.

* later*

Kioji stepped out of the shower grumbling. He went in his own room and dressed. Then afterwards, he went downstairs.

He saw the note that Rain had left, he paid it no mind until he returned from the kitchen. He picked up the note and read it.

Kioji kept staring at it. " Hey, Kioji, when I came in this morning, I saw this girl sitting on the coach. I don't know if it was a

hallucination or if it was for real." said Domon as he came down the stairs. His brother did not pay him any attention. " Kioji,

what are you doing?" said Domon. " Look at this note." Kioji commanded. Domon looked at it but not before he gave Kioji a

bewildered look. " So, what's special about it?" Domon asked. " I know you wouldn't know, cause you were away with Master Asia.

But this is the same handwriting of Rain Mikamora." " What are you talking about, Kioji, the Rain I know wouldn't have

handwriting like this, she was only nine." said a slow Domon. For that response, he got a slap on the back of the head.

" Domon, have you grown since you were nine, then of coarse Rain has, too, you idiot!" " So, how do you this is her handwriting,

anyway?"

Domon said as he rubbed the back of his head.

" I know because she wrote a letter to me after she moved away with the Mikamoras to Kyoto." " This just might be another

chick who has the same name, with the same hand-" Domon stopped as he was hit in the back of the head again. " Don't you

see, you fool, This is Dr. Mikamora's daughter, Rain Mikamora." Kioji said excitedly. " So, why are you so excited?" said Domon

trying to hide he excitement as well. " Well, if you didn't know, genius, Rain was here, I didn't even recognize her until it was

too late, dammit." Kioji said frustrated. " I'll be right back." said Domon as he was going up the steps. " Where are you going?"

asked Kioji. " I have to go pee." Domon continued up the steps. " Domon, take a shower while your up there, you reek of beer."said

Kioji as he covered his nose. Domon kept going as he mumbled something. Kioji smiled at the note as he put it back on the desk.



He then got a phone book from under

the coffee table, and began to look under the "M" column.

He was deep in thought as he looked through the whole column of "M"'s. Before long, his train of thought was broken when the

phone rang. Kioji went into the kitchen to answer the phone.

" Hello?"

" Hello, son." said Doctor Kassue

" Hi, dad. Is there anything wrong?"

" Not at all, but there I have some good news."

" Oh?"

" Yes, we can restart on project: "Earth Restoration" again!" The doctor said excitedly.

" Really?"

" Yes, Doctor Mikamora came back with the proper parts after bringing the wrong one in."

" Is that why he moved?" Kioji was always wondering why.

" Yes, he insisted that he'd fix the mistake, since it was his. He practically begged me to postpone the project so

he could fix it, I never thought that he would take so long, but I guess it's better late than never." The doctor chuckled.

" Does he know that his daughter is here?" asked Kioji.

" Yes, he told me as soon as I saw him, which was about thirty minutes ago. He said that she's been here for over three

months. So, has she visited you?"

" Yes, but she and I hadn't recognized each other. But then I realized it was her, not too long ago." Kioji said thinking,

'how did it not recognize her.' Kioji continued, " She has grown up to be very beautiful."

" I'm sure she has. Well, why don't you and Domon come and visit me and your mother?" asked Doctor Kassue.

" Father, I can come, but I don't think Domon can make it."

" Oh? Why not?"

" He's drunk, he had a very active night with Chibodee." Kioji chuckled.

" Come as fast as you can, son. I'll see you there. Good bye."

" Bye dad."

Kioji came back into the living room to put the phone book back. He'd decided that he'd look for Rain's number after

he came back. " Domon, I'll be back." Kioji yelled up the stairs.

Yeah, yeah." Domon responded. Kioji then left. Kioji already knew how to get to his father's house, so he just rode in his

motorcycle there.

*Later*

" Kioji, it's good to see you." said Doctor Kasshu as his son came through the door. " It's good to see you too, dad." said Kioji.

Then Kioji took a glance at Dr. Mikamora and said, " Oh, and you, too, doctor." " Hello, Kioji. Well every body, lets get things

started." said Dr. Mikamora.

" Yes, that is a good idea." said Doctor Kassue as he gestured for every body to follow him, to the cellar, or to the place also

known as the building grounds for project: Earth Restoration.
