Fluff allert for the end!!!
CHAPTER 5: MORE FUN AND SOME LOVING
In the Kasshu's hotel room, Rain watched her husband who was standing in front of the door staring at it with his arms folded and with a stern look on his face. "Domon, who are you waiting for?" she asked as she sat down on the bed to take off her white boots.
"Chibodee will be arriving," the King of Hearts said in a very serious voice convinced that the Neo-American fighter would be showing up at any second.
"So…what did you do to him?" Rain asked raising an eyebrow at her husband, as she remained sitting on the bed after pulling her boots off.
Not being able to deny that he had done something to get back at the boxer, Domon didn't move as he said, "You know that old saying, 'Don't let the bedbugs bite,' right?"
"Oh, no," Rain said hoping she was wrong as she now realized why her husband and Sai had been talking in private quite a bit that night. If anyone knew how to get a hold of the mudbugs, it was Sai. Also remembering that Domon had hung around the boxer's bed before they had left his room, Rain said, "Don't tell me that you and Sai put live crawfish in Chibodee's bed."
"Okay. I won't," Domon said calmly not surprised that his smart wife had guessed. "But, I'm sure you'll hear our American friend yelling about it in about five, four, three, two…
"Domon Kasshu!" Chibodee screamed as he ran down the hall getting closer to the Kasshu's door. Within seconds he was pounding on it. "Open up!"
Nodding his head to his wife, the King of Hearts said with a smile, "See. But now I've got to get rid of him."
As Domon made his way to the door to greet his upset friend, Rain stood up and said, "Wait. I know a way to get him to just leave us alone."
Open for his smart partner's idea, Domon said, "And, what way is that?"
Standing up, Rain said with a smile, "Give me your bandanna."
Giving her a strange look but asking no questions, Domon reached up and started to untie the red sash from around his forehead. While doing that he watched his wife grab and then put on her white, fluffy robe over her clothes. Next she tied it closed making it appear as if she had nothing on underneath it.
When Domon handed her his bandanna, she lifted it and began tying it around her forehead as she smiled up at him.
"You know, Rain. Anytime you put that bandanna on, it turns me on," Domon said in a hoarse voice now completely ignoring the nonstop pounding on the door.
Rolling her eyes playfully, Rain said, "Ever since our honeymoon, all I have to do is look at you crooked and I can turn you on."
Knowing he couldn't disagree, Domon smiled and confessed, "True."
Winking at her husband, Rain then whispered, "Move where Chibodee won't see you."
Not about to disobey his wife at the moment, the Neo-Japan fighter moved away from the door.
The pretty, blue-eyed female nodded at him as her hand reached for the doorknob to open it for the irate Neo-American fighter.
When the door was opened, it was clear that the boxer was extremely surprised to see Rain standing in the doorway since he had expected Domon to be waiting for him. Chibodee's emotions turned from being very mad to being very embarrassed in a matter of seconds at seeing the famous red bandanna around Rain's forehead. Because he assumed she was wearing nothing underneath her white robe, the boxer guessed that he had disturbed the Kasshu couple in the middle of doing something very private.
"Chibodee, is something wrong?" Rain asked forcing herself not to laugh since the boxer had been obviously caught off guard as he stood in the middle of the hall wearing nothing but his red, white and blue boxer shorts.
"I…I…I," he said tongue tied, "I was…uh…looking for…
"Domon?" Rain asked with a smile.
Chibodee shook his head 'yes' very quickly.
"I'm sorry," the pretty female said. "Domon's tied up at the moment…literally." Fingering the end of the red sash that was hanging down from her forehead to her shoulder, she said, "You see, Chibodee. Domon does have more than one bandanna."
No words came from Chibodee's mouth as he blinked back in shock that Rain had admitted that she had tied up the King of Hearts. Without a word, the boxer turned around and then slowly walked away.
When Rain closed the door, she quickly pulled off her robe just before her husband pulled her into his arms and said while laughing lightly, "You naughty girl."
"Only with you," she teased as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Can you believe that he really thought I tied you up?"
"Sounds good to me," Domon said making eyes at her.
They were truly having such a great time in New Orleans not worrying about a thing. Within seconds, Domon swept his wife up off of her feet to carry her to their bed. Unlike the night before, the King of Hearts was wide-awake and ready to prove it to his wife. Holding her eyes in his gaze, he laid her down on the bed and then covered her with his body as he said, "You won't have to worry about crawfish attacking you tonight in this bed, but instead me."
"You're one bedbug that I will let bite," she teased just before they began to kiss.
.
Monday, which was Lundi Gras, the day before Mardi Gras, Domon and Chibodee shook hands. Because they were only supposed to be enjoying themselves while in the Big Easy, they decided that they should just forget what they had done to each other. It was simply too hard to stay mad with all of the excitement going on, even for Domon. Since the parades wouldn't be till that night, the G Gundam gang decided to take a walk in the French Quarter. Though it was where their hotel was located they had only walked a small bit to the restaurant where they had experienced crawfish.
As the friends walked they noticed that the Quarter, which is the oldest neighborhood in New Orleans, had a different atmosphere during the day. With not a cloud in the sky it was easy to see the elegant Spanish and French architecture of the surrounding buildings and the many places to shop for gifts to take home to remember New Orleans. There were also artist outside painting pictures of people who were willing to sit long enough to be painted.
For breakfast the Shuffles and friends stopped at a café that Chibodee had insisted they must. Because the weather was beautiful, they decided to sit at one of the outside tables.
"Chibodee, I hope you didn't bring Hurricanes," Domon said as they all got comfortable.
"You don't see an ice-chest, do ya?" the Neo-American fighter said, but in the back of his mind he did wish that he could see the King of Hearts loaded again.
When the waitress made her way over to them, the friends actually let Chibodee take the liberty of ordering for everyone once again. After all, though the King of Hearts had been tricked, the boxer had been right about the crawfish being delicious.
"Chibodee," Domon said very seriously after the waitress left with their order, "I hope the waitress doesn't do anything special to my breakfast."
"Your beignets will be just like everyone else's," the boxer said assuring the leader of the Shuffles that he wasn't going to be tricked.
Having a headache from drinking a bit too much the night before, George said sounding a little aggravated, "Earlier when you two shook hands, I thought you agreed to bury the hatchet."
Grunting first, Domon then said, "I'd like to bury the hatchet in his…
"Domon," Rain said feeling like she was scolding a child.
Luckily all he had to do was look at his pretty wife and the pleading look on her face made him decide to really drop the fact that Chibodee had gotten him drunk. After all, Domon's surprise of crawfish in Chibodee's bed had been such an amusing payback.
Only concentrating on food, Sai said, "What is a beignet?"
Slapping and then rubbing his hands together as if he couldn't wait to eat, Chibodee said with a smile, "It's like a crisp…doughnut with tons of powdered sugar on it."
Sounding somewhat irritated as she rolled her eyes, Nastasha said, "If I keep eating like I have been since being in this city, I'm not going to be able to fit into my clothes much longer."
Now patting his tight stomach, Chibodee said, "This city is known for some of the best cooking."
Suddenly, the waitress appeared with their beignets. As the powdery looking somewhat square doughnuts and coffee were placed down in front of everyone, no one could deny that they were ready to dig into the white, fluffy looking things.
Picking up her beignet to examine it, Rain's eyes moved to her husband who had already taken a bite of his and managed to get powdered sugar on his nose.
"What?" he asked upon catching his wife grinning at him.
"You have powdered sugar on the tip of your nose," she said giggling at his appearance.
Domon wiped it off with the back of his hand and then grinning at his wife, said, "Let's see you eat it without getting it all over you."
The pretty, blue-eyed female would have told her husband she could handle not getting the sugar on her, but George scolding Sai made everyone look at the youngest fighter.
"Sai Saici!" George stated, "Can you please eat in a manner that does not make you look like a disgrace!"
Looking around, Sai noticed that everyone else didn't have the white powder all over them as they ate like he did, especially not the girls. Sai had the powdered sugar all around his mouth, on his nose and on his clothes. He was about to stick up for himself when he suddenly sneezed, which resulted in the powder blowing all over whom else, but George.
As the Knight slowly blinked open his eyes, which were covered with the powder, he looked both embarrassed and upset.
Everyone became silent; forcing themselves not to laugh that is until Miss Marie Louise offered to help George. "Oh, George," she said in an extra sweet voice, "I will kiss it all off of you."
With that, everyone burst out laughing, which made their powdered sugar from their doughnuts blow everywhere.
"You fools!" Nastasha exclaimed, waving the cloud of sugar out of her face as everyone stopped their laughter and looked at her.
Taking in the silence, the Russian woman looked back at her friends to see Chibodee and his crew sprinkled with the white powder along with the Knight and his princess and again Sai, who didn't really seem to mind. Seeing the strong leader of the Shuffle Alliance and his very classy wife covered with the powder was the funniest of them all she thought till she turned to see Argo. His dark eyebrows weren't so dark at the moment and Nastasha soon found herself not being able to stop from laughing.
"Rain," Domon whispered making her lean close to him as everyone else started to laugh with Nastasha, "Watch this." He then took the sugar container from the table, which actually held powdered sugar, and poured more of it on to his beignet. After lifting the beignet up, he then blew its ton of sugar in all directions.
With that everyone, even Nastasha, started blowing their powdered sugar from their beignets all over each other. Surprising everyone after a good few minutes of acting like they were ten years old, Rain stood up, took the sugar container into her hand and said laughing, "This is how it should be done, Domon." Two seconds later, she was pouring the powdered sugar right on top of her husband's head, which surprised the heck out of him as he jumped up. Upon grabbing his laughing wife around her waist, he then grabbed the container away from her and poured the sugar on to her head, which then ran right down into the front of her dress.
Liking what his leader was doing very much, Chibodee grabbed a powdered sugar container from a nearby, vacant table and started pouring it all over his crew.
Sai became too busy eating whose ever beignets were left on the table. "These are so good!"
George on the other hand found himself in Miss Marie Louise's arms and began to enjoy what she was doing, which was attempting to kiss all of the powdered sugar away.
To everyone's surprise, it was Chibodee who eventually announced that they should stop.
As everyone calmed down and stopped what they were doing, Chibodee smiled taking in the sight. His crew, George, Miss Marie Louise, Sai and the Neo Russian and Neo-Japan teams were practically covered from head to toe with the white powder. Poor Bunny had to take off her glasses so she could try to clean them with a napkin.
That's when Sai started to laugh loudly from a memory. Wanting everyone else to enjoy the memory as well, he said, "Hey! Remember that time in the limo just before Bro and Sis got engaged, when Chibodee was singing very badly, Pour Some Sugar on Me?"
Putting his arm around his wife's shoulders at the memory, Domon found himself grinning as he said, "I don't think anyone could forget. Right, George?"
Finally catching on to exactly what Sai said, the boxer exclaimed, "I didn't sing badly!" Then seeing why Domon asked only George if he remembered the song, the boxer saw that Miss Marie Louise had managed to get the Knight into kiss that evidently had been going on for a few seconds or so. Knowing that he was going to enjoy breaking the French couple up, the boxer exclaimed, "George de Sande! How dare you act that way in a public café!"
Hearing Sai start to laugh very loudly, George pulled away from his princess not knowing what to say as he saw that everyone was staring.
Pleased with the look on the Knight's face, Chibodee remembered why he had told everyone that they should stop making a mess with the powdered sugar. "Our sweet waitress is going to want to kill us and you're not helping, George."
Ashamed, poor George looked down as Chibodee pulled out his wallet and took out a large amount of cash. He then handed it to the waitress who had been close by just watching.
"Thank you, Chibodee," she said not really looking upset at all. "I'm just glad that y'all sat outside so I can just hose the place down."
Putting his wallet back into his pant's pocket, Chibodee said, "I'm just surprised that it was Rain Kasshu who really started the powder fight."
As Rain became embarrassed since she was the first to actually pour a ton of sugar on someone's head, Domon smiled and wanting to stick up for her, said, "Chibodee, I don't think you want more crawfish in your bed."
The boxer didn't say anything else, but knew he was going to start checking under the sheets before ever falling asleep again.
Happy with her very large tip, the waitress said to Chibodee, "Thank ya, Darling."
.
Before the Shuffle Alliance and crew could head anywhere else, they thought it was valid to stop back at the hotel to change their clothes considering the powdery mess that they looked.
Feeling a bit more free and relaxed than usual, Domon said, "The people here don't really act like they even know who we are."
"Well," Chibodee said happily with his arms around his crew as they walked through the Quarter, "I think a lot of people don't think we're the real Shuffle Alliance and besides that, people here can be real laid back."
"Yeah," Sai said agreeing at what he had taken in from the Big Easy so far, "They're more worried about having fun and eating."
"In fact," Chibodee said as he stopped in front of a Cajun restaurant, "Forget about us getting cleaned up. Let's just dust each other off as much as possible and go in this place."
"Chibodee," Rain said wanting to change her clothes pretty badly, "We're a mess."
"Chill out, Neo-Japanette," the Neo-American fighter said happily as he started to spy through the window into the place. "I know these people and I can tell ya that they don't care about the powder on us."
Rolling his eyes, George mumbled, "How embarrassing it is to be seen this way."
Looking at Argo, Nastasha said very seriously, "I think we should just leave Crocket here all by himself."
Knowing Chibodee had to be up to something, Argo said, "I think you're right, Nastasha."
As Chibodee knocked on the front window, the owner turned and when she saw his big, green eyes looking through the window, she became excited. She was thrilled to see him, one of her very favorite customers who always did show up at Mardi Gras time. The older woman in her fifties with the short, blonde hair grabbed her keys from the counter of the bar to unlock the door since the restaurant wasn't actually open to the public yet.
.
In Neo-Japan it was 9:30 PM in the evening as Dr. Kasshu sat watching his TV in his modest house. Flipping through the stations he became quite pleased to see a reporter reporting what was going on all the way in New Orleans, Louisiana of the United States. To his luck, the reporter was reporting live from the Big Easy. The female reporter announced that she was standing in the French Quarter and that she had seen a few celebrities so far that morning.
Though Domon wasn't a celebrity, Dr. Kasshu wondered if his son was going to be bothered since he was very important to the world and colonies. Suddenly there on the TV were some people with white dust all over them, standing in front of a building appearing to be looking through the windows of it. The doctor was more than surprised when he realized that it was the Shuffle Alliance and that they didn't seem to mind how they looked.
Happily, the reporter stated that the Shuffle Alliance had just come from a café where they had quite an enjoyable time.
"My son had some sought of…food fight?" Dr. Kasshu whispered in shock. "And, Rain? I can't believe that my daughter-in-law would participate in something like that. And, Nastasha and…George? What on earth is New Orleans doing to them?"
Not far from Dr. Kasshu's residence, Hoy and Ming were cracking up along with Han as they watched the Shuffle Alliance on the TV of their boat.
.
"Chibodee Crocket!" the blonde, friendly lady exclaimed as she swung open the door.
Hugging the older woman, the Neo-American fighter said, "How ya doing, Darling?"
"Fine," she said hugging him right back. After the hug, she took in the appearance of he and his friends and said, "It's obvious that y'all visited the café."
"You know it!" Chibodee shot back happily and that's when the woman realized just who the boxer's friends were.
"Wow!" she said more than happy to have them all at her place, " It's a real pleasure to have y'all here."
Seeing that she obviously knew everyone, Chibodee said, "Guys, this friendly lady is Mrs. Leblanc."
After everyone said hello to her, the boxer whispered something into her ear and then she smiled shaking her head yes to him.
"Alright guys," Chibodee said as Mrs. Leblanc held the door open for all of them, "Dust yourselves off some more and let's go in."
At first the friends just looked at each other as if he was crazy, but seeing the very inviting look on the woman's face, they all nodded an 'okay' at each other and then started to dust each other off.
"Hey!" Shirley exclaimed as the boxer attempted to help her, "Watch those hands, Chibodee."
Once they were all in the restaurant, Chibodee announced what they were going to do. "Mrs. Leblanc is going to give us some Cajun dancing lessons!"
As Chib's crew jumped up and down excited at the idea, Nastasha, Sai and especially Domon looked at the Neo-American fighter as if he was nuts.
George on the other hand thought that it would be quite different and enjoyable.
Argo shook his head trying to imagine what Cajun dancing was like and knew he'd have more fun taking a swing at Chibodee.
Rain had to cover her mouth with her hand to keep from laughing out loud at the petrified look on her husband's face at the thought of taking dancing lessons.
"Rain," he said pulling her to the side, "Look, you may have succeeded in getting me to start slow dancing, but I'm not going to Cajun dance."
"As I recall," Rain said tilting her head to him, "You also said you would never come to New Orleans, go to a parade, eat crawfish or drink a Hurricane."
"Okay," Domon said folding his arms, "I got your point, but I'm still not doing this…Cajun thing."
Over hearing, Chibodee moved over to them and said, "Rain, please do something to make him change his mind. It's fun."
"There's nothing she can say," Domon said not looking happy as he stared back at Chibodee.
Away from them, Nastasha also folded her arms and said, "I am not taking dancing lessons."
Knowing Nastasha's tough reputation, Mrs. Leblanc said, "I assure you that I will not be opening up to the public for another two hours, so it will be only you and your friends dancing."
Missing Cecile, Sai was at least glad that he'd be able to dance with one of Chib's crew.
Chibodee was still standing with the Neo-Japan team. "Come on, Neo-Japan. Rain, tell him something that will make him dance with you," the boxer begged just before leaving them.
"Forget it, Rain," Domon said shaking his head no as she moved closer to him.
Giving Domon an extra sweet smile, she put both of her hands on one of his shoulders. Moving her lips, very close to his ear, she whispered, "If you thought last night was great, dance with me now and I'll really show you my appreciation tonight."
Domon's body quivered slightly at the anticipation of yet another fantastic night with his wife as he unfolded his arms and stuck his hands in his pockets.
That gesture said it all to Rain, along with his sudden silence and the far away look in his eyes when he looked at her. The King of Hearts was going to do anything she wanted the rest of the day.
When Chibodee saw them walking back, he didn't even ask how Rain had done it but was just glad that Domon wasn't protesting about the dancing lessons.
Loving these times that she had her husband wrapped around her finger, Rain wasn't about to embarrass him by saying how she had made him change his mind.
.
On the dance floor, the boxer was the one who absolutely loved the energy of the Cajun music, while Domon more or less put up with it. It was quite different from anything he had ever heard before. Though the King of Hearts barely moved his feet at first, his right hand was on Rain's waist and his left held her right hand as he listened carefully to Mrs. Leblanc's instructions. After awhile he moved a bit more willingly since they had to make a circle around the floor or else get run over by the couple behind them, which was Chibodee and Shirley. Domon surely didn't over do his two-stepping though he had caught on to it rather quickly. For him, Cajun dancing was much easier than all of the martial art moves he had learned.
Chibodee on the other hand looked like someone lit a fire underneath him by the way he and Shirley moved so rapidly around the floor. Domon knew this wasn't the boxer's first time Cajun dancing and now knew that the boxer danced as dreadfully as he sang. More memories of old Chib singing, Pour Some Sugar on Me made Domon want to forget the boxer's singing ASAP.
Though George's proper manner didn't go too well with the music, he and his princess were having a great time until Chibodee and Shirley rammed into them causing the Princess to fall down onto the floor right on her butt. Unfortunately for George he fell next landing right on top of her, which pushed Miss Marie Louise to lie completely back on the floor. Smiling up at her Knight who was on top of her, the princess said dreamily, "Oh, George."
Embarrassed, George started to get up as he said, "I am ever so sorry, Miss Marie Louise."
Observing, Sai said, "I think she likes it."
"Shhh," Bunny, Sai's dancing partner said as they danced by.
Unfortunately, Cath and Janet, who were partners, hadn't been looking and tripped over George's legs.
As Domon, Rain, Nastasha and Argo looked down at them, Nastasha said, "Thank Goodness we can save the earth together better than we can dance together."
For the next hour or so they continued to have a good time two-stepping and twirling each other around as they became pros at Cajun dancing.
.
That afternoon the group of friends stopped in at a Jazz Club and that was where the couples in love had the best time. New Orleans was known for its Jazz music most of all. After all, it was where Jazz had been born. Inside of the dark, dim lit club it felt like it was actually nighttime rather than an afternoon as the band played brilliantly. To Rain's surprise, her husband voluntarily pulled her onto the dance floor. That's when she realized that he had easily taken to the music and she couldn't deny that she loved it's cool sound as well. It gave the fun city a romantic feel and being that she and her husband were so in love, it was the perfect place to be especially since their 1st anniversary wasn't that far away.
Argo and Nastasha too had been so taken in by the music as well as George and of course, Miss Marie Louise. Sai, Chib and his crew had gone back to the hotel since Sai was too young to get into the club. The balcony was the only place that Sai really wanted to be anyway.
During some slower songs, the fighters held their loves close as they danced across the dance floor. Nothing seemed more romantic then this to them as the couples stared into each other's eyes and kissed between loving words as the music kept on playing.
.
That night, all of the friends completely enjoyed the night parades. It was later that evening, after the parades, when the King of Hearts and his queen fell under the romantic feel of the city once again. With traces of powdered sugar still on them, the Kasshu couple declined going to Chibodee's room to hang out on the balcony. They instead wanted to be alone with each other in their hotel room.
As Domon put the do not disturb sign on the door, he teased his wife by saying, "You owe me for making me Cajun dance."
Stepping in front of the mirror on the dresser, Rain smiled at herself as she took off her earrings and said, "You must know I didn't forget, though I think you ended up thoroughly enjoying the lessons."
Moving behind her, Domon put his hands on her shoulders and looked at the two of them in the mirror. "I might have actually enjoyed the dancing, but the powder fight was the best."
"Speaking of that," Rain said seeing the tint of white in her hair as well as in her husband's dark hair, "I can't believe that we stayed like this all day."
Wrapping his arms around her waist, Domon smiled as he looked down into his wife's dress to see some of the sugar on her beautiful body. "I think we should take a shower," he said with pleasure in his voice.
"Yes, I agree that a shower's long over due," she teased turning around to enclose him in her arms. "Should we take one together?"
"You read my mind," he said getting lost in her beautiful blues once again as they each fell under each other's spell.
The King of Hearts still felt so lucky to be married to the beautiful doctor because there was so much more to her than her looks. To him she was better than any woman that he could have ever dreamt up. She possessed such kindness, understanding of others and such a sweet, true devotion to him.
Rain too was so very grateful to have Domon as the man in her life. Her mother and her father were gone, but she had her close childhood friend who made her feel so loved. The past year he had spoken and shared more with her than he ever had with anyone else before and for that she felt extremely lucky. He had also said that he lived to protect her and vowed to always be there for her.
As their lips moved together, Domon's hands moved to push Rain's jacket off of her shoulders. She followed by beginning to remove him of his cloak and his tan jacket. While continuing to kiss and undress each other, they began to make their way to the bathroom, careful not to trip over the clothes that they were dropping on to the floor.
Ten minutes later the shower could be heard running in the Kasshu's hotel bathroom. In that bathroom, amongst the steam and the smell of soap, a husband and his wife clung to each other in a deep, passionate kiss as the warm water showered down over them. The two were in another world that only they could enter into as their hands hungrily explored each other's bodies, signifying how dear they were to each other and how much they wanted each other.
As in the past during their loving, the strong King of Hearts was extremely gentle with his treasure, his wife, as he held her soft curves against his firm chest. Their hearts pounded fast as the water continued to bead off of them while they took pleasure in each other's bodies. In sweet time while being supported by her husband, Rain once again experienced his love for her and he hers as they melted into each other when the fireworks erupted between them. Though love wasn't just about the act of making love, but about being faithful and supporting each other no matter what, their intense loving expressed just how deep their love ran.
Later in their bed, Rain was laying on her back on both of the pillows that her husband had fluffed up for her. Their hearts beat close together as she held him in her arms.
Little did Domon or Rain know just what was happening in her body as he lay on her, his arms wrapped around her, his head nuzzled in her neck.
"Rain," he whispered almost too low for her to hear, "I love you."
"I love you," she whispered as her hand moved into his hair, holding him close.
