Ch. 4

When Rain opened her eyes the next morning, she was surprised to find a pair of arms draped around her waist. She smiled to herself and snuggled closer into Domon's embrace, happy that he had actually slept in. But who wouldn't be exhausted after last night. (AN: heehee)

Trying to make as little movement as possible so she wouldn't wake him, she turned over in his arms so she could face him. Realizing that this was the first time she had ever seen him sleeping, she stared at him for awhile, imprinting his peaceful expression in her mind permanently. Who knew when he would sleep later than her would happen again?

After quite a while of her admiring, Domon began to stir, and eventually opened his eyes to meet her gaze. Pulling her closer, he gave her a lazy grin and kissed her. 'I wouldn't mind waking up to this every morning,' he thought.

"Good morning Rain," he said when he pulled away.

"More like good afternoon," she replied giggling.

"Is it really?" he asked surprised.

"Yup. I must've worn you out last night," she teased.

"I guess you did," he smiled back, liking the flirty side of Rain he was beginning to see.

"I suppose I'll go make some lunch so you can train later," Rain said after a few minutes.

As she started to rise, Domon grabbed her wrist and gently pulled her back into his embrace. "We can wait a little longer for that, can't we?"

Beaming, she nodded and allowed herself to be pulled back into Domon's comforting arms. Domon had just placed her above his training, making her his top priority, and nothing could ruin that feeling for her. And on top of that, he whispered those three words that every girl waits to hear as she laid there in his arms. Nothing could ruin that moment for her.

...............................................................

After they had finally risen and gotten dressed, they ate lunch together and Domon eventually headed off to train for a few hours.

Straightening up their campsite, Rain hardly noticed the figures surrounding her until they emerged from the shadows of the forest. Standing up and turning around after cleaning the dishes in the river, she came face to face with a group of heavily armed men. Dropping the plates, she gasped and took a step back, the water from the river preventing her from going further.

"Who are you?" she asked, trying to keep the quiver out of her voice, knowing these men were trouble. "What do you want?"

"You." Was the simple reply, but before she could make another move, much less scream, three of the men were on her, two keeping her still while another placed a gag over her mouth. Once that was in place, they tied her wrists together. Although she struggled the entire time, her attempts were futile, as they greatly outnumbered her and were much stronger.

Glaring at the man directly in front of her who appeared to be the leader, she made one last attempt and kicked him with all her might, making a direct hit where it hurts. Falling to his knees and cursing, he motioned for another man to come forward who was filling a needle with some kind of liquid.

Finally standing, the leader scowled at her. "Stupid bitch. I hope you get what you deserve when the Masters done with you." And with that, a needle was shoved into her arm and within seconds, Rain felt her eyes start to droop close and the men and the forest become fuzzy until all was dark.

....................................................

Domon was in mid-swing when it happened. A ominous feeling tugged at him. Then it hit him.

Rain.

Something was wrong.

Something was very wrong.

Dashing back towards their camp, scenarios started to play in his head. Rain falling into the river and being swept away. Rain tripping and falling off of the gundam (it had almost happened before). Even a bear or another animal attacking her. All he knew was that he had to get to her.
