Disclaimer: Chapter 1

Hey everyone! Just in case you're wondering, I rewrote chapter 5 because it did seem kind of weird, and I wasn't too happy with the way I wrote it. Anyway, thanks to all of you who reviewed, even if they were flames! It lets me know that people actually read this! Now, for chapter 6 of Left In the Rain: Reluctant.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 " Is something wrong Allenby?" Rain asked her roommate.

" No, it's just been a long week for me," she responded. She had her head laid on her desk. It was hard to listen to the teacher talking with everything going on in her head.

" Is there something you would like to share with the class Ms. Beardsely and Ms. Mikamura?"

" No," they both responded softly. The teacher went back to teaching the class. Allenby couldn't get over what had happened that last weekend. " What do I care?" she would tell herself over and over. " So what if Domon and Rain wanna hook up? I should be happy for them! They belong together! But Domon only said that they could be better friends. He COULD be hers. Who am I kidding? I don't know anymore." 

-----------

" I'm so happy! Domon and I have been closer than ever now! Thank you Kyoji for your help!"

" Don't mention it Rain. If it makes you and Domon happy, I would be happy to help."

Rain started to talk to Kyoji after school while waiting for Domon to go get a meal. Allenby walked by. " Hey! Do you want to go with us for something to eat?" Rain called.

" No," Allenby mumbled and kept on walking.

" She's been acting weird lately. I wonder if school pressure is getting to her?"

" I still feel something strange around her. It's not exactly pleasant, but what if it isn't bad? I don't know………" Kyoji thought.

" What is wrong with me?" Allenby asked herself. " Is it… Domon?

" Uh oh, you're talking to yourself Allenby. Don't go crazy now," she thought. She headed back to the room.

Domon found Rain and Kyoji and headed over to a nearby fast-food restaurant. They ordered and sat down. " My art teacher does so many funny things! The other day she…" and she kept on talking. Kyoji was listening and laughing with Rain, but Domon couldn't concentrate. He was too busy thinking of other things. " Being closer to Rain wasn't what I thought it would be. I was happy when we were just friends. It's just that when I was her friend, I felt more relaxed around her. Maybe it's just me. Maybe something's holding me back from wanting to be with her. What?"  Domon thought.

" Domon, are you ok? You haven't touched your food! That's not like you after school," Rain said worriedly.

" I'm fine Rain, just not that hungry."

" Maybe you need to rest Domon. Why don't we go back to your room ok?" she offered.

" I think I'll just take a little walk instead," and he left.

-------------

" Don't let it phase you Allenby, what is done is done. Then, why can't I get Domon off my mind? I need to take a walk."

 Allenby headed outside. " Maybe if I tell Domon how I feel. No… man! I don't know what to do!" she continued to think. The sun had almost finished going down. Not knowing where she was going, she walked into the ally way between the main building and the Girl's dorms' building. " Allenby Beardsely," a voice had said. She looked up. In front of her stood a tall figure with red hair. " Michello Chariot," she said softly.

" I haven't seen you in a while. You seem a little tense. Why don't you tell me what's going on; maybe I can help you."

" No… leave me alone," she said. As she started to leave, she could see two other people next to him. Allenby didn't want to deal with this now.

" Come on, you can tell me," he said.

" No!" She started to run. One of his friends grabbed her arm. She struggled to break free, but this guy was strong. 

" What's the hurry? We'd love you to stay here,"

Allenby started to scream. The guy grabbed her other arm and dragged her back. She screamed harder, but they covered her mouth. Just then, someone appeared in front of her.

" Let her go!"

" What's this?"
