AN: Hey, I got this chapter out pretty fast! I think all of your great reviews helped!! : ) I know, I know, I've been told I'm so evil from all the cliffies, but I couldn't help it. Hopefully this will clear up some of the mystery though! heehee. Now, on to.......

Ch. 6

"Wong?! Prime Minister Wong??" Rain was in complete disbelief. Their leader, their ruler, was responsible for her kidnapping? She knew many politicians were corrupt, but to stoop this low was an outrage.

As two guards filed into the room after him, Wong shut the door and turned to face Rain. "Oh good, you do recognize me." His smile seemed more like a smirk to Rain. "And how do you like your new living arrangement dear?"

"Why did you kidnap me?" Rain bluntly asked, not wanting to dart around the question with silly niceties. She wanted some answers.

"Well I thought it would be quite obvious to someone of your intelligence, but I suppose, since you won't be going anywhere anytime soon, it wouldn't hurt to make known a bit of our plans."

Sitting down, he began. "Well, as has become quite obvious to anyone who simply looks at the two of you, you have become rather important to Mr. Kasshu, who is the favored to win the Gundam Tournament. Now, assuming we are correct on your value to him, without you, he will be lost. He will become weak, and he will lose." Wong's initially sugary voice started to become heated and intense as he spoke the last part. "And then, there will be no threat to me once he is out of the tournament. And I will be able to keep my position as world ruler for the next four years."

When Rain didn't say a word out of shock, he continued. "Isn't it a marvelous plan? But it also means that you have to remain here for the remainder of the tournament, and maybe some afterwards. I can't have you running around spoiling everything."

"No." Rain's voice softly broke through the silence. "No. He won't loose. He's worked too hard to give up now. He's still going to win, and ruin your plans."

Lifting her chin up so he could look her in the eyes, he smirked. "Not without you my dear. You are his strength, and because of that, you are unfortunately his weakness as well. Your absence will ultimately cause the downfall of Domon Kasshu."

And with that, he left her sitting in a trance, a look of horror etched across her face. The door closing and the lock clicking snapped her out of her daze, and she looked up to find the room empty once again. "No, it can't be true. Domon's stronger than that. He has to be." Repeating these words until they became little more than mutters, she stretched herself out on the couch and cried herself to sleep.

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

"Whoa, so you're saying Rain's been kidnapped?!" Chibodee exclaimed. The American boxer jumped to his feet. "Well then what are we waiting around her for?? We're wasting time!"

"Although I agree, we don't even know who took Mademoiselle Rain. Just searching without even an idea of where to look would be an even bigger waste of time." George said.

"He's right. We need a plan of some sort." Argo agreed.

Domon, who had become silent after summarizing what had happened that day, finally spoke up. "Chibodee, why did you ask me about Wong awhile back?"

"Huh? Oh yeah, that. Well I had just heard some stuff about him around town. Probably just a bunch of rumors."

"What kind of stuff?" Domon demanded to know.

"Just that he had supposedly been involved in some illegal things and partnerships that he used his power to cover up."

"Do you think that maybe he was the one that took sis?" Sai Saici asked.

"I'm not sure, but I'm betting he at least had something to do with it!" Domon was beginning to loose his cool. He had tried to remain calm, for Rain's sake, but the more they talked of her disappearance, the more he just wanted to punch something.

"Let's just fan out around the town. See what we can pick up. Even if they are just rumors, gossip has to come from some sort of truth." George reasoned.

"Sounds good. So let's meet back here in 3 hours."

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

"We have taken the girl into our possession for the remainder of the Gundam Battle, sir."

"Good. Everything is going as planned I presume?"

"Yes sir. It's only a matter of time before Domon Kasshu falls."

"Good work. Remember to keep me posted Wong."
