Letting Go of Rain

Rebecca why is it I tend to abuse you? I guess I've done that far too often. I neglected my own crew and lied to Rain. Now you're passed out on my floor, why do I hurt people who mean something to me.

Chapter 10

Sweet Forgiveness and a Ton of Guilt

Rebecca lies on my polished gym floor not moving or breathing. My girls feel her pulse, it's faint but there. I get up and pick her up, noticing blood on her forehead and damp hands. 'DAMN IT WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME!?' Luck is on my side today, Rain is at the door and Shirley lets her in. I hold the now pale and bloody young woman who not only kicked my ass but also helped me.

"Rain can you help her?" I show her the injured woman and Rain, with only a mere nod helps me get her to a hospital. Rain spent most of the day in the room with Rebecca she told me to wait in the waiting room which is a horrible punishment for any man. I wait worrying and pacing the room, I know I was annoying a lot of people, but I really don't give a damn.

I sit down on the black leathered couch with my eyes downcast to the ground. 'She just wanted to help and what do I do? Hit on her like she was just some object for me to play with. YOU UNGREATFUL BASTARD SHE DIDN'T EVEN ASK YOU TO PAY HER!'

I hear an elderly voice say, "Chibodee is that you?"

I look up and see Kelso, my chest got tight. How in gods name am I going to tell Kelso that his employee my have a concussion. Kelso sits beside me and says, "Rain Mika. . .Kasshu told me the story."

I sigh and say, "I never wanted that to happen to Rebecca."

Kelso nods and says, "I understand, this is the same hospital I met her in."

I look at Kelso curiously and figured this would end up being a flash back. I ask "Really what happened?"

Kelso begins, "Well you see my wife had a horrible asthma attack, but she also had a heart attack. This happened about two years ago, I was with her waiting, hoping and praying she'd be ok. . ."

I sigh and say, "She didn't make it did she?"

Kelso says, "No I was so heart broken, and oddly enough I hear a girl crying.

She was wearing a graduation gown and her hair was up. It was a pretty blue but half torn, and her face was soak with tears. She looks up at me with the cutest green eyes and says, "I'm sorry sir I'll keep my crying down to a quiet sob."

I ask "Do you know why she was crying?"

Kelso shakes his head and says, "The only thing she said was that no one could ever heal the deep scar in her heart."

I sigh and lean back asking, "Do you think someone left her and broke her heart?"

Kelso says, "Well it seems to be much more painful then someone leaving you with an empty heart."

I nod and say, "Thank you Kelso. So you want to see Rebecca too?"

Kelso nods and says, "She is like a daughter to me and I care for her like a father would. She is the reason I even kept my store running."

I smile and say, "I bet she feels like your daughter."

Rain smiles and walks over to us. I say, "IT'S ABOUT TIME I THOUGHT I WOULD GO CRAZY!"

She laughs at my outburst and says, "She is going to be fine no major injuries. Just a minor head trauma she will have to be in bed for a week though to heal."

Kelso chuckles and says, "She won't like that at all."

I ask eagerly "Can we see her?"

Rain nods and says, "She's awake now."

We both follow Rain to Rebecca's room, I let Kelso go in first. 'There's only one obstacle left for me to face. This is a good as time as any.'

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

Rain nods and looks at me with her beautiful blue eyes staring in mine. I say "The reason I haven't visited you and Domon is, because I still had a crush on you. I know you're meant to be with Domon but I still wanted to be yours too."

Rain smiles and hugs me saying, "Thank you for telling me are you better now?"

I smile and nod saying, "I'll be able to plan the next reunion no problem."

Her eyes sparkle with happiness and I don't feel the infatuation anymore. I just give her a warm smile back and say, "When you get back to Japan tell him I said Beware I'll torment his ass latter." I add a wink to that statement.

Rain laughs and says, "Well I'll tell him in a different set of words." I nod and I see Kelso walking out with a smile on his face and a tear in his eyes. He puts his hand on my shoulder and nods. Being a man I know that means you can see her now. I walk in and see her face not as pale as before. A smile is on her face but a pain look in her eyes.

"Chibodee is that you?" Rebecca says softly.

I say, "Of course it's me did you think I wouldn't be here?"

She grew quiet and responds, "Well with me being a bully yesterday I thought. . ."

I stop her saying, "Rebecca it's more my fault than yours."

I look in her eyes and smile but she is frowning. "Aw Rebecca you need to smile."

She shakes her head and a tear falls on her shirt. I put her hand in mine and ask, "Why won't you smile?"

She murmurs, "I'm a fraud Chibodee."

I barely hear it and say, "Rebecca I know a lot of BSing people you're not one of them."

She looks in my eyes and says, "You told Rain and faced her."

I smile and say "Yep I did it; I'm no longer a slave to her blue eyes."

Rebecca manages to smile a little and says, "My treatment is complete, I guess I can move on once I'm well again."

Those words stung at my heart like 100 bees and a thousand sewing needles. 'She wants to leave me again. WHY JUST BECAUSE I'M OVER MY INFATUATION WITH RAIN DOESN'T MEAN SHE SHOULD DISSAPPEAR!?'

I try not to sound desperate and ask, "Do you have to leave?"

She sighs and says, "Well there isn't much of a reason for me to stick around."

I look at her directly and ask again, "Do you have to leave?"

She sighs saying "No. Don't you want the answer why I'm cold?"

I kiss her head and say, "Not now you need to heal."

Rebecca sighs and nods turning a little, grunting in discomfort. I couldn't help but chuckle at her, and she pouts.

"Aww don't pout."

She asks, "Why you're laughing at me?"

"I'm not laughing at you; I just can't help but notice how cute you are."

She turns away and says "Hmp well you can't stay here all day, and admire my cuteness.

I hope you have a match or something."

Rain walks in saying, "Chibodee you can take Rebecca home tonight."

I smile and say, "Let me guess you influenced the doctors to let her go early."

Rain smile and says, "That and Kelso told me Rebecca isn't too fond of hospitals."

Rebecca throws up her arms in defeat and pouts some more. I just smile at this 'She's so cute, how, can anyone hurt someone as adorable as her?' The time seems to pass on slow but it wasn't too long till I carry her out to the car. After the painstaking minuets it took for them to take the IV's out. She didn't really flinch too badly at that but man it sure did a number on me. 'Note to self wear more protection when in the ring.'

We make our way back to my mansion. She has been quiet all the way there, I half expected her to ask me a bunch of questions. She looks at me as I carry her inside, I don't want her to get a major head ache. Her eyes seem soft now and gentle not the same cold, stern ones I saw before. I lay her down in my bed, and as soon as her head hit the pillow she fell asleep. I kiss her head, and went downstairs to cook dinner.

Well here's chapter 10. Yep more drama but a little more affection in this one on Chibodee's part now don't, get the idea that this is the end. There are still two or three more chapters left. I'm a little annoyed at Fan Fiction for putting an infraction on me, but oh well I survived. I just hope I won't get kicked off, but the thing is I don't know what I did wrong. Enough of that it is time for me to thank my reviewers.

Wolfegurl006: Of course I'd include you and no problem about my support in yours and CC's story. I like seeing people think out of the box from time to time. Can't wait to see the next chapter from the two of you, and I hope you're feeling better.

Ravenf6: Lol I figured you'd like the fact someone knocked Chibodee for a loop. I seem to have you in a small suspense that's good. Thank you again for bothering to read my stories.

Jen: Thank you so much, and I'm glad to know that I'm not twisting your arm. ;) Can't wait to see the next chapter in your story I wonder what's going to happen next. I have to ask something though; do you find stories staring an Oc pointless? I'm just curious; I know there are a lot of those that don't really make a lot of sense. Anyway I hope to get another review from you.
