Disclaimer: Chapter 1

Hey everybody! Sorry it's been so long. I kind of didn't know what to write next. I'd like to thank Miracle Star for giving me a great idea!!!!! Ok! Here's chapter 11: Moonlight.

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

When Allenby woke up, it was already late in the morning. Rain had already left the room to go do something else. " It figures. She's always out early and in late. It's like she's avoiding me or something…Oh Well…" Allenby thought. She sighed. As she got up, there was something that felt different. She looked around. " Funny, It seemed like Domon was here. I had this feeling that everything was all right because he was here. Oh never mind. I'm just not awake yet." She thought. She went to the restroom to splash cold water on her face. It was hot for a spring day. It was obvious summer would be approaching soon. The sound of birds and the wind blowing through the trees made Allenby feel like going to sleep again, and dream about Domon. " Wait a minute," she said to herself. " Since when did I ever think that? She sighed. " Time to take a walk."

Rain sat up straight on the bench in front of the main building. She stared straight ahead as if she needed to look at something. Her eyes were completely blank. She stared into a deep nothingness, as it seemed. Not even the loud heavy metal music of a near by radio seemed to bother her. A huge figure stepped right in front of her. It was Kyoji. "Rain, what's wrong?" he asked.

" Kyoji, it's you. Nothing… just nothing."

" Want to come with me to get a soda and a burger? It's already noon."

" Sure," she said blankly. Her mind seemed to be somewhere far from earth.

The day seemed to go by so slow for Allenby. She tried to finish her report for Monday, but she wasn't able to think. It was getting to be the end of the year, and Allenby didn't want to screw up on her grades at this point. However, her thoughts were on Domon completely. She had to do something about it. She got up from the desk at the library and walked out. She had the strangest feeling like if someone was watching her. She looked back. Michello Chariot was sitting down and reading a book. " Like he's even reading it!" She thought. " Could he be watching me? I haven't seen him since he tried to kidnap me that day. But then again it could just be my imagination."  She walked out. Micello looked at her. " You just wait…."

            The sun seemed to beam down on Rain like sandpaper scraping her back. She had not been out side for a long time. The ice cream Kyoji gave her felt good after walking in the heat outside. It was going to be a hot summer this year. " You don't seem too good lately Rain. What's the matter?"

" I'd rather not talk about it right now. Maybe later. Let's talk about something happier. Like flowers dancing on the ground and getting wet in the falling rain."

Her eyes started to water. Kyoji knew that she needed help and a shoulder to lean on. He smiled sweetly. " I can help you. I can be your friend," he thought.     They stayed quiet and listened to the people chatter busily.

The sun started to set. Allenby. Sat down on the bench in front of the main building. The flowers had already finished blooming. The earth was beautiful. She was safe and secure. Then, she looked to her side. Her feeling of security went away. It felt as if though Domon was there at her side. She felt like crying, but didn't really know why. Was it because Domon wasn't there? She thought for a little bit. Then decided. " It's time."

The sky turned different colors. The night was soon to make its appearance. As the sun disappeared into the mountains, almost everybody went inside to rest and get ready for another day.  Purple, pink and orange weaved its way into the blue sky. The sun went down, slowly, softly, and then it was nighttime. The moon was shining bright.

Allenby walked to Domon's room. Different thoughts flew in her head. " What could he be doing? What would he think of me when I come in unexpected? Will he do something to me like throw me out?" Her thoughts kept on flowing until she pushed it all aside. " As long as he knows I love him and as long as I'm with him is all that matters." She got to his room. Silently, she stood, took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Seconds seemed like hours. When was he going to open the door? Then, the sound of locks opening. The door opened. " Hey Allenby! How's it going? I wasn't expecting you, but come in anyway!" Domon said. Allenby smiled. She couldn't help it. It felt safe to know that Domon was with her at least. " So, did you want anything from me, or did you come to visit?" he chuckled. " We haven't got the chance to talk alone. Sai Sici went to spend the night with the others. He said there was going to be some party, but I didn't feel like going. I'm glad you're here! I was beginning to get a little lonely!" he laughed. Allenby laughed along. She was glad to be here too. Just the sight of his smile made her feel happy and loved inside. Now was the time to confess her love. " Domon, I actually came here to tell you something."

There was a long pause.

" Um… you really are a great person Domon, and I really like you. The truth is Domon…"

It took her time to say this. She loved Domon. It was different than what she thought at first. Her mind wandered into the past. Memories of him came back. The carnival, her first day, everything had been wonderful. They had been through a lot together. Domon looked at her quizzically. He knew she had something on her mind.

" Domon, I feel kind of weird saying this, but I love you very much, and…well, I've never felt this way about anyone. I know you may think I'm crazy, but,"

" No," Domon interrupted. Allenby looked up from staring at the ground. Domon took her hand.

 "You're not stupid at all. I know how you feel. I don't know if you've noticed, but I feel the same way. I just got with Rain because it would hurt her if I didn't say yes especially if I got with you. I…Love you too Allenby."

Allenby looked into his eyes. Was this a dream? He was actually in love with her too! Her thoughts were interrupted when Domon started to lean into her. She looked at him and closed her eyes. His lips touched hers slowly. A tear ran down Allenby's cheek. She was so happy to the point of tears! Then Domon broke away. " What's wrong?" he asked.

" I'm just so happy Domon. Happy that you are here next to me." He smiled and kissed her again. This one lasted longer, though, and Allenby began to feel more comfortable. They broke away. Domon looked kind of disappointed. Allenby knew what he was thinking, but didn't want to admit it. " It's all too fast don't you think? I mean, we know now and," Allenby interrupted with another quick kiss. They stood up. " Domon, now that I have you finally, I don't want to loose you." She said. Her eyes filled with tears both because of fear he might stop this now and the fact that he was finally here. " I never want to loose you."

Kyoji had invited Rain up to his room. He figured that they would talk for a while and maybe after, Rain would feel better. " Rain, I know that you have not been doing so good lately. You can talk to me; I'm here for you."

Rain started to cry instantly. She collapsed into Kyoji's arms. " I don't know what to do now! I've lost Domon and he was my world! I loved him Kyoji! I've been trying to fight back tears all this time and damaging myself for doing do," she sobbed. Kyoji didn't know what to say. He just held her in his arms. "You're here now, with me, and I'll take care of you. I'll be with you Rain. I'll always be here as your friend."

Rain smiled for the first time in a long while. " Thank you Kyoji."

 Domon laid Allenby down slowly on the bed and sat next to her, stroking her short, blue hair. They didn't say a word for a while until Domon broke the silence. " Allenby," he shook his head. " I won't leave you even if this is too soon. I love you too and nothing can bring us apart." Allenby smiled. Domon was next to her and it wasn't a dream. Her head wasn't playing trick on her. It was very real. They looked into each other's eyes. "Domon… hold me."
