AN: Summers finally here!!! Yaaaaay!!
Ch. 2
When Rain woke up the next morning, Domon had already left to train. She sat up and smiled briefly, remembering when Domon had unknowingly woken her up when he draped his cape around her last night. It was because of these sweet little gestures that he reserved for only her that she loved him. Now, if only she knew that he felt the same way about her......
As Rain was just finishing up breakfast, Domon came ambling into the camp, ready to eat.
"How did training go?" Rain innocently asked after several moments of silence. When he answered with mumbles and grunts, she knew that it did not go so well.
"Well, I guess were going to be here for awhile, so I'll check over the gundam's system, if that's alright."
"Do whatever you want to." he replied as he finished his breakfast and stood to leave.
"I don't know when I'll be back, so just don't wander off anywhere...." He trailed off as he entered the woods.
As Rain cleaned up the dishes, she sighed. 'And it's moments like these that drive me crazy.'
...........................................
Rain froze as she heard someone say her name. She stood from where she had been adjusting the gundam's monitors and looked down to see Chibodee and Sai Saici gathered at the foot of the gundam.
"Yo, sis!" Sai Saici waved.
"Hey guys! I'll be right down!" Once she had reached the ground, Chibodee pulled her into a hug.
"How's my favorite girl?" he teased. After they had all briefly caught up, Chibodee asked where Domon was.
"He's been training all day, so he should be back soon."
"How could he leave such a pretty girl all by her lonesome?" Chibodee was always one to make Rain, or any girl for that matter, blush. Although he was quite the charmer, he was no Domon.
...................................................
As Rain cooked dinner while everyone chatted around the fire, Domon finally made his appearance.
"Domon!" Sai Saici jumped up to greet him.
"What are you guys doing here?" he asked as he shook Chibodee's hand.
"Can't we even say hi to an old buddy without being interrogated?" Chibodee joked as Domon gave him a 'yeah right' look.
"Ok, ok, so we wanted to see if you had heard anything about this Wong guy."
"You mean the guy who won the Gundam Battle last time?"
"Yeah, that one. We've been hearing some suspicious stuff back in the city and we just wanted to see if you've heard anything."
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I've heard nothing really out of the ordinary."
"Oh. Well just keep an eye out for him. I don't think we'll be able to trust this guy in the competition." Chibodee then turned towards Rain with a big grin on his face.
"So Rain, when are you gonna put the harness on our pal Domon." Chibodee got the reaction he wanted, as Rain turned a bright shade of red and he became the receiving end of Domon's intense glare. "Or have you already?" he asked as he burst out in laughs.
"Chibodee, isn't it about time you got back to the girls." Domon commanded between clinched teeth as Rain became an impossible shade of red.
"Sure, sure, but if you don't do something soon, someone else is gonna come along and sweep her off her feet." He said between bouts of laughter as he stood to leave.
"Later bro, sis," Sai Saici waved as he trailed Chibodee out of the clearing.
A rather long silence followed their departure, and as Rain began to gather the dishes, she froze as Domon said her name softly. She turned towards him and met his stare as he took the dishes from her hands and set them on the ground. She followed the plates as Domon put them down, and when he had stood up again, her gaze remained on them, scared to look up at Domon.
But when he gently lifted her chin to meet his eyes, she could clearly see the way he felt for her in them. As he lowered his face towards hers, her eyes fluttered close, anxious for what she'd been waiting for forever.
As his lips met her in a simple but sweet kiss, a jolt ran through her and she was certain he loved her like she loved him. He wrapped his arms around her, drawing her closer and he lifted his face to search out her eyes, seeing how she'd react to the kiss. She looked up at him with such love and emotion that he couldn't resist and bent down once again, this time for a more passionate kiss. And all track of time was lost as the two lovers held each other, both unwilling to let go.
..........................................
"Sir, it seems as if the woman is Domon's lover, or is at least very important to him. Our spy saw them embracing earlier this evening."
"Hmmm. This will definitely work to our advantage then. Prepare your men. We're going hunting."
