Disclaimer: Chapter 1

Hey everyone! Thanks for all the reviews! I'll start updating more often now because of the demand for more chapters. Anyway, it's time for Left In the Rain chapter 7: Hero/Heartbreaker.

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

" Domon!" Allenby called.

" Michelo Chariot. What were you planning to do with her?"

" If you must know something, I was sent to merely invite her on request of my boss. That's all I'm saying."

" Well, what a horrible way to invite a woman. I never knew you could stoop so low."

Allenby stood there with an unfamiliar guy holding both of her arms behind her back. She wasn't listening to what they were saying. All she could think of is the fact that Domon cared enough to rescue her from these jerks.

" Are you deaf Michello? Let go of Allenby!"

" You're going to have to force me you fake Gundam Pilot!"

Domon got mad and charged at Michello. He kept trying to punch him, but the redheaded creep continually blocked all of the attempts. He punched Domon in the stomach and the others joined in, taking advantage of his weakness. Allenby grew worried. Seeing him being beat up was more than she could handle. She tried to break free, but the man wouldn't let her go. Suddenly, Domon got back into action and tripped one of the men and punched another. He kept going at it until he got back to Michello. Panting and bleeding in some places, he was more determined to defeat him.

" Well, Domon. You have stamina. I'm impressed, but unfortunately, that won't be enough," Michello said.

They charged at each other with almost equal strength. It continued for a while until Michello lost track of Domon and lost his guard. He collapsed to the floor tired and hurt. Domon quickly set Allenby free and the man who held her captive, passed out. They ran far from there.

" Why did you all let him get away?!" Michelo shouted. " No matter. Now that we know she is the perfect one, we could try again later."

" What are you talking about?" one of the men with him said.

" Can't you feel it? She has the exact qualities you fool! Now all we have to do is tell the boss that she's the one, and there will be no stopping him."

" Yeah!" They all shouted.

" That was intense Domon. How did you learn how to fight like that?" Allenby asked.

" I'm a Gundam Pilot remember?"

Allenby giggled. " Thank you," she said.

He sighed and responded, " Anytime."

Allenby ran to the room. She couldn't hide the big smile that was on her face. " He saved me! He actually saved me! Oh, I can't get out of my head how brave and determined he was to save me. I never knew I could love a guy like this!" She got to the room.

" Why the big smile Allenby?"

She was so excited that she was about to burst out all that happened tonight, but she quickly remembered that it was Rain she was talking to. She didn't want to hurt her.

" It's just been a really good day that's all."

" Oh, that's good! I had a really good day too! My grades have been going up, and I fell much better now that Domon is with me."

This struck Allenby. "I feel the same way," she thought. " But does Domon really love her?"

____________________________________

" But do I really love Rain?" Domon asked himself. " Why do I think of her as a friend and not the one I love? Why doesn't Allenby stay out of my mind?  It's because I want to love her. I don't want to hurt Rain though. Then again, I can't go on pretending I love Rain.  I have to tell her. Yes, I have to tell her."  He then got up and headed out to meet her in her room.

" Hey Allenby, I have to give some papers to Sai Sici. I'll be back soon ok?"

" Ok!"

Rain headed out the door. She said hi to everyone she saw along the way. Her spirit has brightened ever since Domon loved her, or so she thought. Everyone loved her cheerfulness. She had even made some new friends. Life was so happy and wonderful for her, but it would all be just a dream. It finished that night. While walking to Sai Sici's room, she ran into Domon. " Rain," he called out.

" Domon! I was just going to take some papers to Sai Sici. Do you mind taking them for me on your way back?"

" Rain, there's something I have to tell you."

" What is it?" She asked in a cheerfull voice. Her smile quickly turned into a frown when she realized it was hard for him to speak. He took a long pause.

" You and me…" he began. Domon didn't know how to finish. Rain looked worried. She was afraid of what he was about to say.

" Well, do you like the fact that we're together?"

" Of course! Why? D..don't you?" She looked hurt.

" Well, before all this we were friends. It just isn't the same now. I feel…. Different around you and it really doesn't make me feel comfortable."

 Rain felt like she was about to cry. A lump produced in her throat.

" I think it would have been better if we were just friends. Forgive me Rain, but.."

" Is it someone else?" She interrupted.

He sighed. " I …." He started. Then he thought of Allenby. " Yes, I believe so."

" Oh…."

" I'm sorry Rain."

Rain turned away. "If there is anyway to make you feel better…." Domon started again.

Rain interrupted. " I've heard it all," she said in a rather quiet voice. She started to cry. Domon felt really bad, but it was what he had to do. Rain didn't care about anything at that moment. She didn't care if he saw her cry. Her perfect life was ruined. It was over. She ran back. All of the papers fell onto the floor. Her love had left her, never to return.
