A/N: This chapter really doesn't contain any major important scenes.
It's just a little DR fluff for your enjoyment (and mine ^_'). I'm really
gonna try to start updating once a week. Okay well on with this chapter. At
the moment I'm not really sure which one. I think it's the sixth.
Rain walked along the sidewalk towards her house with so many balloons she thought she might achieve liftoff. That's what happens when you're popular though. Half of the school gets you something. Her party was on Saturday and that night she and her dad were going out to dinner. He'd promised that there would be no interruptions what so ever. That was rare for him. Sometimes she felt like she never even got to see him anymore. Suddenly she heard her cell phone ring and tried to get it out without loosing any of the balloons. "Hello, Rain here," she said pressing the phone up against her ear.
"Sweetheart I'm really sorry," her father told her. "We're going to have to postpone your birthday dinner. Tonight I have to work late."
"Daddy you promised," Rain said trying not to whine. Cheerleaders were never supposed to whine.
"I'm sorry Rain, but sometimes these things just happen," Dr. Mikamura explained. "Now I have to get back to work. Why don't you have your boyfriend Chibidork take you out to dinner."
"Dad his name is Chibodee," Rain said flatly. "I have to go."
"Alright, I love you princess."
"I love you too Dad. Bye." With that Rain hung up. The tears that had been brimming in her eyes spilled over. She let go of all her balloons and ran towards the lake at the back of her property. She often went there when she needed to think or when she was upset. She dropped her things at the start of the dock and took off her shoes. She sat on the edge and let her feet dangle in the cool water. Little did she know someone had seen the whole thing.
Domon had been following Rain from a distance. He had watched her struggling with the balloons and getting her cell phone out. He'd listened to half of her conversation with her dad. He had even watched her run off towards the dock. Although he tried not to show it, Domon had a heart of gold. He'd never been able to stand watching Rain cry. So despites his mind's protests, his heart won and he made his way towards the dock.
When he got there Rain was sitting on the edge of the dock crying quietly. He dropped his stuff next to hers and then walked up and sat down next to her. She didn't even look up. "I'm sorry about your dad," Domon said gently.
Rain looked up shocked, as if a rock had spoken. "How did you know about that?" she asked him.
"I was behind you and heard your half of the conversation," Domon explained. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop"
Rain nodded and looked down towards the water. "He does this every year," she whispered. "I don't remember the last time he was home for my birthday. He always finds some excuse to stay away."
"Well," Domon thought aloud. "Why don't I take you somewhere for your birthday?"
"You're joking right?" Rain asked trying not to laugh. "This is almost funny. We go around ignoring each other. Then when something bad happens, you always come running to my rescue. Well let me tell you something. I don't need you to rescue me. You decided that we shouldn't be friends anymore. So why do you think every time something bad happens I need your shoulder to cry on?"
Domon was shocked by Rain's furry. "Rain I," he began. "I was just trying to help. But fine. You just go running back to Chibodee and the rest of your so-called friends. "
"What do you mean my 'so-called' friends?" Rain asked him angrily. "And what's wrong with Chibodee?"
"Rain you're not stupid," Domon told her. "You know Chibodee just thinks you should be together because he's captain of the football team and you're the captain of the cheerleading squad. Do you really think it's your personality that he's attracted to?"
Rain looked at him angrily. Her eyes were full of furry. "What do you know about anything? You and your friends hide away from the world. You don't care about anything besides your skateboards. You think there's something wrong with anyone who's different. You act tough but when conflict comes you run or pick on the weak."
"Rain you know I saved your skin after you got hurt and you know it," Domon told her ready to punch something. "Besides I do know something."
"What?" Rain snapped.
"I never stopped loving you," he whispered so quietly she almost didn't hear him.
"What did you say?" she asked softly taking his hand in hers.
"I said I love you," he told her and pressed his lips against hers.
Rain was shocked at first. Then she slowly closed her eyes and kissed him back. It wasn't anything like kissing Chibodee. It made something burn deep inside of her stomach. For a minute she completely forgot that her dad was working on her birthday. She forgot the pain of knowing he'd rather work than spend time with her. All that she knew existed was Domon. "I love you too," she whispered as they slowly broke apart. Domon looked at her for a minute and then kissed her again. That was all they knew and cared about for a long time.
