For those who like it, there's some fluff at the end.
CHAPTER 13: BREAKING THE NEWS
Eye to eye and in each other's arms as they stood in their living room, Domon waited for the pretty, blue-eyed female's answer to where she had been. His question had been the first thing he had been able to put into words after several minutes of just holding his wife close in his protective arms while telling himself that she was in fact there safe with him.
"Actually, I haven't really been anywhere," she answered, still wondering why her husband seemed to have been a nervous wreck when she had first walked through their front door upon her return home. However, she surely didn't mind how he had held her as if he never wanted to let her go.
"What do you mean you weren't actually anywhere?" he asked looking a bit confused.
Backing out of his arms, Rain wanted to tell him of the very strange feeling she had gotten. Letting each of her hands push her hair behind her ears, she said in amazement, "I was on my way to the hospital when I just got this…weird feeling."
"Weird feeling?"
"Yes and it was strong enough to make me change my mind about going into the hospital." Normally when she was in her doctor mode and knew that others needed help, nothing could stop her.
Glad for the weird feeling that had stopped her, Domon said, "It sounds like you just trusted your instincts."
"Yes. I had to." Her eyes squinted as she thought harder on that strange feeling and she soon said, "The feeling only got worse and worse because a voice in my head kept telling me that I should be careful, which made me feel that I shouldn't go into work today."
With a very serious look on his face, Domon said nothing as he thought, 'I made that voice happen.' Numerous times during his search for her that day, he had hoped with all of his might that she could hear his wishes that she was being cautious.
"As the storm continued, I remembered this morning when you told me to be careful, and then I began to feel guilty."
Folding his arms as if he was about to fuss at her, the Japanese fighter said, "Because you knew I wouldn't have wanted you to go anywhere in the bad weather."
"Right," Rain said shaking her head yes. "And I knew you'd complain over why the hospital would need me so badly since I had made sure that others would be there to fill in on the days I had taken off."
Letting out a small grunt, Domon then said, "You know me like a book."
"I must admit that thinking of you getting upset eventually made me go over the phone call I had received to go in."
Not saying anything, anger began to run though Domon as he clearly pictured the old man on the phone with his trusting wife, the loyal doctor.
"At first I had figured that my help was needed because of possible accidents which may have resulted from the bad weather. However, I remembered that the doctor who had called for me to go in didn't sound all that insistent. In a time of need, most doctors and nurses express to drop everything and go in immediately to help."
Controlling the rage he was feeling, Domon thought, 'Oh, that old man wanted you to go in, Rain.' In a calm voice, he asked, "What did the man on the phone say?"
Giving her husband a strange look, Rain said, "The doctor just said that it would be wise for me to go in, and that he'd be waiting for me." Seeing an upset look appearing on her husband's face, Rain asked, "What's wrong, Domon?"
Shaking the rage from his system because his wife was indeed safely home, the King of Hearts took a deep breath and said, "I'm just glad that you didn't make it to the hospital."
"I did arrive there but that…weird feeling kept nagging at me and eventually kept me from going into the hospital." Covering their child with her hands, Rain said, "I know this may sound crazy, but I already feel such a need to protect the baby."
Really loving the woman before him even more, Domon said very seriously, "I would expect that from you, Rain."
"Well, to me it felt very unlike me to just leave when I'm needed."
The King of Hearts had to smile since his wife was all ready acting very much like a loving mother, putting her child first.
"There's more, Domon," she said with a strange look in her eyes. "Outside of the hospital, I thought I had seen a ghost."
"A ghost?" he asked wondering what she was talking about. He didn't remember reading anything about pregnant woman hallucinating.
Rain had to giggle before saying, "Obviously he wasn't a ghost." Becoming serious, she added, "It's just that I haven't seen one of those old, Japanese official uniforms in such a long time. In fact, I've only seen them in pictures."
Feeling his heart drop, Domon stepped forward and put his hands on Rain's shoulders and demanded, "Did he do anything to you?"
Taken by surprise, Rain asked, "Who? The man in the old uniform?"
"Yes!" Domon exclaimed as if she should know.
"Why, no," the pretty female said confused over why Domon would ask that. "I was already pulling away from the hospital when his uniform caught my attention."
Clenching his teeth together, Domon said, "If you wouldn't have changed your mind about going into the hospital, he would have kept you from going in."
Giving her husband a strange look, Rain said, "What are you talking about?"
In the kitchen of the Kasshu's home, their friends were glad that their doctor friend had returned home safely, and they knew they had been right to give the young, married couple their privacy. However, Chibodee soon found himself just barely opening the kitchen door and peeking through the crack to see into the living room.
"Chibodee Crocket!" George whispered disgusted. "I demand that you stop spying on Domon and Rain!"
Folding her arms, Nastasha said in a deep voice, "I think we should push him in and watch what the King of Hearts does to him."
"Cool," Sai said imaging Domon wanting to knock the boxer's lights out. Surely the Japanese fighter was in no mood to be spied on at the moment.
Not understanding why some of his friends always seemed uptight, Chibodee turned to them and said, "Hey! Let me do what I want. No one's making y'all look."
Before Argo could tell Chibodee that it was wrong to spy, the boxer was peeking through the crack in the door once again.
Being mischievous himself, Sai asked, "So what are they doing?"
"Sai, you just wish you knew," Chibodee said in a shocked voice while continuing to peek.
"Why? What are they doing?" George asked without thinking, soon wishing he hadn't because he didn't want to appear interested.
Glad that whatever ran through her Knight's mind had made him blush, the princess said, "George, please tell me what you think they're doing."
Since the Knight had become too embarrassed to speak, the boxer was ready to lie his socks off. Just for the fun of it, Chibodee said, "Domon seems to be showing Rain just what she means to him."
"What do you mean?" Sai asked wanting to peek through the door himself but Cecile's presence kept him from doing so.
Upset, George exclaimed, "Get away from that door and…and…let them continue to do whatever they are doing in private."
"Oh, they're continuing alright," Chibodee said still peeking. "Damn. Ya'll are missing it. Rain just pinned Domon against the wall."
"What?" Chib's crew, George, his princess, Sai and Cecile all asked at the same time.
Loving where he had his friend's minds after all the serious worrying they had done, the boxer added, "Ooh…Rain just took off Domon's shirt."
While Nastasha shook her head at Argo for how immature Chibodee was being, Sai asked in awe, "She took off his shirt?"
"More like she ripped it off," Chibodee said as seriously as he could. "Wow!" he exclaimed but in a whisper.
"What?" everyone but the Neo-Russian team asked.
"Rain might be pregnant but she just literally threw Domon onto their lounge chair and now she's…"
"She's what?" Sai asked sounding desperate to know.
With a very serious look on his face, the boxer turned to Sai and said, "I could tell ya, but then I'd have to kill ya." Because of the complete silence that followed, a smile broke onto Chibodee's face which all but said that he had been messing with his friend's minds. With that the Neo-American fighter couldn't help but laugh at how he really had his friends believing him. Leaning his back against the kitchen door, it suddenly opened causing him to fall into the living room and onto the floor. Turning his head he saw Domon's boot next to his head.
Holding the door open, Domon looked down at his friend on the floor and said, "What the hell are you doing?"
When Rain appeared next to her husband, Sai said, "I knew Sis had her clothes on."
While Domon was thinking of just what to yell at the youngest fighter for being interested in whether his wife's clothes were on or not, Argo held a hand down to Chibodee to pull him up from the floor. After, Argo put his large hand on their leader's shoulder and said, "Well…"
Giving Argo a serious look, Domon turned to Rain and took her hand. Looking back at his huge friend, he said, "I didn't tell her yet."
"Tell me what?" Rain asked still confused over what was going on.
Seeing that the King of Hearts was obviously worried about how upset his pregnant wife could become over hearing the existence of the old man, George knew that Domon didn't want to break the bad news to her alone. "Domon. Shall we all go into your living room and tell Mademoiselle Rain what we know?"
Touched since he hadn't had to ask, Domon nodded his head yes and then gently pulled his wife back towards the center of the living room.
Once there, Rain turned to her husband and said so very seriously, "Domon…you're scaring me. What's wrong?"
"Please, Rain," he said calmly. "Just sit down."
Though hesitant at first, Rain sat down as did the rest of the women, except for Nastasha who remained standing. Pulling a chair directly in front of his wife, Domon too sat down and then took both of her hands in his as the other Shuffles moved to stand behind him. In a soft voice, the King of Hearts said, "You're going to have to forget about being a gundam mechanic and a doctor for awhile."
Rain's blue eyes widened as she asked with surprise in her voice. "What do you mean?"
"You're going to have to stay put because the man you saw out front of the hospital, who was wearing the old Japanese official uniform…is very dangerous."
The four standing Shuffles looked at each other stunned that she had seen the old man, but all were glad that she obviously hadn't gotten within his reach.
Rain almost had to wonder if this was a joke. "You want me to stay home because he's dangerous to me?"
The King of Hearts simply nodded his head yes that she was in danger.
As if finding it hard to believe, Rain gave a half smile and said, "What would he want with me; a pregnant woman?"
Hating to tell her what she had to know, Domon said as calmly as possible, "He wants…our baby."
"What?" she asked with fear in her eyes and voice as she pulled her hands from her husband's and covered their baby.
Without the hint of doubt in his voice, Domon said, "I'm not going to let him get what he wants, Rain."
Folding his arms, George said to the worried female, "You need not worry. We will not let him near you."
"That's right, Sis," Sai said getting into a fighting stance.
In his serious mode, Chibodee said, "He'd be nuts to try to get to you with us around."
"That's right," Argo agreed as Nastasha tilted her head to Rain in agreement.
Scared over anyone even thinking about taking her baby, she asked, "Domon. Why would that man want our baby?"
Putting his hands on her knees, Domon began to explain how the man thought that their child would be the perfect gundam fighter for Neo-Japan's future.
"I don't understand," Rain said disgusted. "What did he plan to do at the hospital? Did he plan to take me and hold me hostage until the baby was born?"
"It doesn't matter," Domon said thinking that she didn't have to hear that that was in fact correct. "All that matters is that you are home, and I won't let anything happen to you or the baby."
"None of us will," Chibodee said with a wink.
"That is correct," the Knight agreed. "It sounds like you have us, your friends, in Neo-Japan at the best possible time."
"Yes," Argo said. "We will not fail in protecting you."
Wanting to lighten up the mood, Chibodee added, "And after we catch this jerk, we're going to party."
"You know it," Sai agreed relaxing out of his fighting stance.
The pretty, blue-eyed female couldn't help but smile. Not a thing could make her feel safer than her husband did except her husband being united with the Shuffle Alliance to protect her. "Thank you," she said giving each of them a smile even though she hated what was happening. Moving her eyes back to her husband's, she moved her hands over his and said very softly, "You had thought the old man had captured me. That's why you were so relieved to see me when I returned home."
Not wanting to remember how upset he had been, Domon said with a smile, "I'm always happy to see you, Rain."
With a smile Rain didn't say anything though she guessed that her husband was exaggerating.
Looking back at his friends, the King of Hearts looked serious once again as he said, "I have some thinking to do."
"No. We haven some thinking to do," Argo said showing that the Shuffle Alliance working together was always better.
"Thanks, guys," Domon said ready to receive all of the help that he could get.
Wanting to give the guys some time alone, Miss Marie Louise said, "Rain. Let's go upstairs so you can try on some of your new maternity clothes. You can let your husband see what you'll be wearing for awhile."
The Knight couldn't help but smile at his princess since it was a good way to take Rain's mind off of the danger for at least a little while.
"Yes," Domon said gently pulling his wife up by her hands to stand. "I want to see what clothes you bought today."
Knowing her husband could never really be that interested in her attire, but also knowing he needed to be alone with the Shuffles, the sweet doctor walked away with her girlfriends to and then up the stairs.
When Domon heard his bedroom door close, he said to his friends, "You don't know how hard it was for me not to lose it over my wife having to worry while she's pregnant."
"You? Lose it?" Chibodee asked in a sarcastic voice. "I could never see Domon Kasshu upset."
While the Japanese fighter gave the boxer a not so nice look, George rolled his eyes and said, "Where do you think we should look for this old man?"
Beginning to pace the room, the King of Hearts said, "I need to think." The other Shuffles as well began to think and were thinking about what should be done when a material of some sort came down from up above and landed on Domon's head.
Before Domon could become angry over being interrupted since there was such a serious matter at hand, he soon smelled his wife's sweet scent coming from the material. Removing it from over his head, he saw that it was Rain's dress and then he heard Bunny at the top of the stairs saying that Rain wouldn't need it for awhile. Looking up, Domon saw that Cecile was standing with Bunny as well, which reminded Domon of Selig, which in turn reminded him of Allenby. "I have to get in touch with Karato right now."
Realizing that they had almost forgotten about Neo-Japan's commissioner, George said, "Yes. We should let him know that Rain is safe."
"That's not why I want to call him," Domon said walking towards the phone.
"Yeah," Chibodee said, "Let Mr. Uptight Karato worry some more."
"No," Domon said picking up the phone. "George is right. I should have called him but there's something else I need to tell him as well."
Lifting an eyebrow at their leader, Argo said, "You have an idea, Domon. Don't you?"
Before Domon could answer, it became obvious that Karato had picked up the phone on his end so the Shuffles just listened. "Commissioner Karato," Domon said very seriously. "Rain's home safe, but I need you to do something." After a slight pause, the Japanese fighter said, "Don't let any of the officials leak to the press that we're looking for the old man. If the old man knows, he may go into hiding and I don't want that. I want him to try to capture Rain again."
"Bro," Sai said, "I think you're really losing your mind now."
Looking at his friends to see their confused expressions, Domon said to his commissioner, "I'm putting you on speaker phone."
Now on speakerphone, Karato said, "You mean those fighters of other nations can hear me?"
"Well, excuse us again!" Sai exclaimed.
"Drop it," Domon said to the commissioner, "I want the Shuffle Alliance to hear what I have to say to you."
"Fine," Karato said, though really not liking the idea. "So why would you want Rain captured?"
"I want to set the old man up. He doesn't know he's being looked for because I'm sure he doesn't think the officials took him serious. If he doesn't think he's being looked for, he'll try to take Rain again without being as careful as he should. He won't know that Rain is being watched."
"But, Domon," Chibodee said very seriously, "with Rain being pregnant, I just don't think it would be safe to use her as bait."
"You're right," the King of Hearts said. "We need to find Allenby."
"Oh…I get it," Sai said with a devious smile. "You want Allenby to dress up as Rain."
Slapping his hands together, the boxer said, "I can't wait to see that old man's face when he thinks he's taking Rain but then Allenby lets him have it."
"It has to work," Domon said with determination in his voice. "I can't have Rain scared the rest of her pregnancy because of this idiot. If he wants her, he can come and get her. Only it won't be her."
Impressed, George said, "Excellent idea, Domon."
Once again, the King of Hearts ordered Karato to not leak anything to the press since he didn't want the old man to have a clue that the Shuffle Alliance was on to him. The commissioner agreed to let his officials know at once that they keep the news of the old man to themselves or deal with an upset Domon Kasshu.
Just after hanging up the phone, Miss Marie Louise said from the top of the stairs. "Domon. Here's your newly dressed pregnant wife."
Looking up to the top of the stairs, the King of Hearts saw his wife starting to walk down. Wearing a light, blue colored dress, which exposed her shoulders and stopped just above her knees, she seemed to drift down the stairs. He loved when she wore dresses that matched her eyes and he wasn't about to tell her that she still didn't really look pregnant. As she got closer, though her beauty was as captivating as always, her smile didn't hide the sadness in her eyes. Smiling back at her as she stood just in front of him, Domon said, "I like it on you."
"Thanks," she said softly.
"You're shorter," he teased.
Looking down at her new, white boots, she said, "No heels."
Still seeing the sadness in her eyes and hating it, he gently pulled her into his arms and whispered, "Hey, I don't want you to worry because I already have a plan. No one, and I mean no one is going to take you or the baby away from me. I will protect what is mine."
With that Rain hugged her husband back and whispered, "I know you'll protect us."
After releasing his wife, Domon tugged on her dress just below her waist and said, "I see there's plenty of more room in this dress for the baby to grow."
"Yes. This dress should fit till the end of my pregnancy," the pretty female said trying to hide her fear since she didn't want her husband to think that she didn't trust in his protection. She did very much, but it was just frightening to know that someone wanted her unborn child.
That night after the friends had all gone back to their hotel, Domon began to make sure that all was secure in his house. While checking to make sure that all of the windows were locked, he also felt better just knowing that Allenby had agreed to meet the next morning to go over what they would have to do.
Through out this night in their very secured house, Rain found herself not being able to go into a room without her husband following close behind. She finally began to tease him by walking into one room then right back out and back in a couple of times to see if he'd follow her. He did till he stopped, folded his arms and made an annoyed face at her. However, remembering Argo saying not to treat Rain like a prisoner since the big man was one who knew how that felt, Domon soon smiled and lighten up just a bit on following his wife.
Later, late that night in their bedroom, the King of Hearts sat in a chair by the window watching his wife sleep on her side facing him. In her sleep she looked so peaceful as if the bad news of the day about the old man hadn't been real. Her breathing was slow and easy as the fan up above caused her hair to slowly move this way and that. Not wanting her to be cold, Domon stood up and walked over to their bed. Seeing that the strap to her peach colored, silk nightgown had fallen off her shoulder, he gently lifted it back in place. Wanting the precious woman in his life to be warm, he then pulled the comforter over her, up to her neck. Kneeling down on the floor he stared into her sleeping face, wanting to touch her but not allowing himself to because she needed her sleep. 'Rain,' he thought. 'The old man is such a fool. Doesn't he know that taking you away from me would be the worst thing that could happen to me. I would surely never win or even participate in another gundam fight. I'd be miserable and would eventually just waste away.' He said her name in his head once again, 'Rain, I've never had so much to lose before since I married you and especially now that we have the baby. Anyone could take away the house, our money and even my champion gundam fight title and it wouldn't matter to me. All that matters to me is that you, my once very young friend, now my wife, will be with me forever.' Domon had to wonder for a second if every husband loved his wife as much as he loved his. There were so many other couples that never stayed together but he couldn't see himself in the future without his wife at all. In fact, if necessary, he knew he'd give his life for her. Turning the light of the lamp off on their nightstand, he then moved back to the window. After taking off his boots, cloak and tan jacket, he took a seat in the chair so that he could keep watch over his wife.
Two hours later, Rain awoke alone in their bed but felt that her husband was near. Lifting her head from her pillow, she saw his silhouette by the window that the moonlight was coming through.
Before she could wonder if he had fallen asleep, he said with a voice that sounded somewhat hoarse since it hadn't been used for a couple of hours, "I'm right here, Rain."
Still only able to make out his silhouette, she said, "Why don't you come to bed?"
He only shook his head no.
Pushing herself up from the bed, Rain's peach nightgown fell just to her thighs.
Domon watched as the beautiful woman slowly made her way over to him.
Now standing in front of him, she said, "I'm sure your back isn't feeling good."
"I'm fine," he said as his eyes lifted to hers.
By now her eyes had adjusted to the darkness and she could clearly see his dark, loving eyes looking back into hers. "Did you plan on sitting here all night?"
Again, he simply nodded his head, but this time with yes as the answer.
Moving to sit on his lap, Rain did just that and then snuggled against him, taking in the scent of him that she loved. "Come to bed, Domon."
"I'm keeping watch," he simply said not wanting her to know that he was worried about the old man trying to find a way into their house. Taking in her sweet scent as well, his arms moved to close around her as he thought that there was no way that anyone was going to take her away from him.
"You can keep watch on me in bed," she said knowing he'd be much more comfortable out of the chair he had been sitting in.
"I need to stay awake," he said as if he was her bodyguard on duty.
Knowing a sure way to make her husband come to bed, Rain whispered as she brushed his ear with her lips, "I don't want you to come to bed with me so that you can sleep, Domon."
Suddenly feeling his sweet, devoted wife's lips now on his neck as she began planting kisses there, the King of Hearts realized once again how easy it was for her to make him hunger for her. She made the strong man in him become weak but then gain power in another way rather than as a fighter. He gained the strength to be her lover who desired her and only her.
After slowly kissing her way to his lips, Rain found that his mouth was waiting for her to enter. Immediately the kiss was deep while her hand slipped under his dark, green shirt to feel his hard chest as his hand began to travel to the familiar territory of his wife.
During their kiss, he suddenly slipped his hands beneath her and lifted her as he stood from the chair. It was hard for her not to break into a smile during their kiss at how easy it had been for her to succeed in getting him to want to join her in bed.
Once by their bed, he held her a good few seconds more as they continued to kiss before he finally broke his lips apart from hers. As he started to stare into her eyes, he then lowered her down gently onto their bed.
Standing back up, he continued to stare at her as he pulled his shirt up and then off over his head just before he rid himself of his pants. After laying down by his wife's side, he pulled her onto her side very close to him. As their lips touched together, excitement ran through their bodies at knowing the pleasure that would be experienced once again in their bed with each other. They each wanted each other no more or less than the other, but with equal passion. As the time that passed increased, they each made sure that they thoroughly pleased the other and by the time they had finished taking turns rolling each other onto their backs, they were tangled in the sheets. When the tender loving was finally complete, Rain's arms were locked around her exhausted husband as she held him on her, not wanting him to move away. Trying to catch his breath, Domon remained in his wife's arms while she brushed his shoulder with a kiss.
Before Domon did fall asleep, he thought, 'Anyone who wants to take my wife and baby away from me should fear me more than anyone ever feared the Dark Gundam.'
Hope y'all liked the chapter and the fluff at the end. I should finish up the old man in the next chapter-- At least I plan to.
