Konnichiwa, minna! Because I'm such a wonderfully nice author, I have decided to split this chapter in two, so this is the second to last chapter. I may write an epilogue, but I haven't decided yet. Don't hold your breath. I'm hoping most people are happy with this ending. I had planned to do this all along; I didn't change it because people wanted me to. Anyway, on to the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own G Gundam, though if I did, I would sooo have Sai Saichi. He's the most adorable thing!


Rain was leaning against Chibodee's legs as she asked him what had been on her mind for the rest of the day. "What did Domon say?"

"When?"

"When you came in and shouted that you loved me." She felt her cheeks go warm and smiled.

Chibodee hesitated. "Uh…I don't know," he answered dismissively. He couldn't tell her. Not now that he had her. He knew it wasn't right, but they loved each other and Domon had his chance. It was time for his. Rain sighed. "What?"

"Nothing. Just tired. I think I'll go to sleep. You don't mind, do you?"

"No, of course not," he replied. He felt her body move away from his legs and saw her slip under the covers of her makeshift bed. All he could see now were her head, her hand, and the shoulder part of her blue pajamas. "I think I'll get some sleep myself." He pulled up his own covers and closed his eyes.


Domon was unusually quiet the next day. Rain's heart was still warm from the events the day before. The heat spread through her body, though sometimes she wondered from whom. It was very confusing. During the day, she could feel her heart belonged to Chibodee, but at night she dreamt of Domon. It was starting to disturb her. Did I do the right thing? Did I make the right decision? She grabbed a glass and filled it with cold water and stood there in the kitchen, sipping it quietly. She was so lost in thought that she did not notice Shirley walk in and stop at the sight of her.

"Rain?" she asked.

Rain looked up, "What? Oh, hi, Shirley."

"Hey. You looked like you were concentrating hard."

"Just thinking."

"About what?" she asked curiously.

Rain sighed, "Lots of things."

"Like what? You can tell me."

"Nothing important," Rain waved. "How have you been?"

"Why are you avoiding the topic?" Shirley held back a smirk as Rain squirmed. She was so easy to read.

"I'm not avoiding it."

"Alright. Whatever you say. But I know what your problem is, and I could help you."

"You do? You could?" Rain was confused.

"It's not that hard to see. You're confused about whether you made the right decision."

"How did you know?" Rain asked before she could stop herself.

Shirley smiled kindly. "We all know you and Domon were meant for each other. When I saw you so lost in thought I figured it was about yesterday. I've talked to Domon, too. The two of you really need to search yourselves some more."

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean. Really look at yourself and if you truly think you're happy, that's fine, but I think you may find something else. We all should."

Rain turned away, "Could I ask you something?"

"Sure." Shirley looked surprised.

"I…I'm confused. During the day, all I can think about is Chibodee, but at night all I dream about is Domon. I don't know what to do."

Shirley smiled broadly. "That's very simple. Though, it would be much more beneficial if you figured it out. Did you know that dreams are just images of what your heart wants?" Shirley turned to walk away and leave Rain with those words when she stopped her.

"What does Domon think of me?"

"What?" Shirley turned back.

"Domon said something yesterday, but I couldn't hear because Chibodee also admitted his love for me at the same time. He looked so disappointed when Chibodee came. I know you won't know what he said, but do you know what he thinks of me?"

Shirley smiled mysteriously, "I do know what he said yesterday."

"You do? How?"

"He pretty much told me. I'm also the one who convinced him to say it. Now it's up to you to ask him what he said. I think you'll change your mind about everything when you hear it."

"You mean if," Rain answered miserably. "Doesn't seem like he'll ever talk to me again…"

"You'd be surprised. Go find him." Shirley turned back around and left.


Rain set down her glass in the sink and set out to find Domon. He wasn't in his room. He hadn't walked into the kitchen while she was gone. He wasn't anywhere, it seemed. She finally opened the door that led to the Gundam garage and found Domon sitting at the feet of Shining Gundam. "Domon?"

He looked up. "Rain?"

"Hey." She walked down the steps to the floor of the garage and walked over to him. "What are you doing out here?"

"Nothing. Just sitting."

"May I join you?"

"Whatever. Sure."

"Thanks." She smoothed down her skirt and sat next to him. "Can I ask you something?"

He looked up at her. "Yea?"

"About yesterday," he held back a groan, "When Chibodee said he loved me, what did you say? I couldn't hear you, and it's been bugging me all day. Shirley said I should ask you."

Domon looked away, "It wasn't anything important."

"Then why can't you tell me?"

"Just…because…it doesn't matter."

"It matters to me."

Domon said nothing for a long minute. "Why do you care what I said?" he asked finally.

Rain hesitated. "I don't know. I guess because you're my best friend and whatever you said seemed important. And what Shirley said just confirmed it."

Domon shook his head, "Well, you were wrong. It wasn't important."

"Then why did you look so upset when Chibodee came in?"

"Because I knew whatever he had to say was so much more important."

"You're jealous?" Rain asked incredulously.

"No!" he protested.

"Why can't you just tell me?"

"I don't want to!"

Rain looked away. "Alright. Fine." She got up to leave.

"Wait, Rain? What's the matter?"

"Nothing."

"Tell me," he commanded.

"It's just that you never tell me anything. You've never trusted me. And I guess you never will."

Domon was stunned. "Wait! Rain!"

She stopped. "Yea?"

"I…why do you say I don't trust you?"

"Because you don't. You never tell me anything. I would gladly tell you everything because I trust you."

Domon sighed, "Rain, you of all people should know that I don't like talking about me much. I do trust you, though. I wouldn't let anybody else handle Shining Gundam."

Rain nodded. "Alright. Thank you." She started forward when Domon grasped her shoulder lightly with his calloused hand.

"Rain…"

"Yes, Domon?" she asked a little irritably.

"Look, you want me to tell you what I said?"

"Yes, if you want to tell me. You don't have to."

Domon hesitated at the invitation, but continued on. He took a deep breath. "I can't believe I'm doing this," he muttered. "This better work…"

"What?" Rain asked.

"Nothing," he stammered.

"What do you want to tell me?"

"I said that…um…I said…"

"That…" she urged.

"I said…" he took her hand and pulled her closer, staring deep into her eyes. "I said that…" Domon took a deep breath. "I said…that…" his voice lowered huskily and he put his hand on her cheek, "That I love you, Rain."

She jerked and swallowed. "What!"

"You heard what I said," Domon answered.

Rain looked very uncomfortable. Her eyes searched for help, but there was nothing for her in the garage. Ironically, Chibodee's Gundam Maxter was standing right next to Domon's Shining Gundam. Her eyes and heart absorbed them in silence. Shirley's words came back to her. "I think you'll change your mind about everything when you hear it." Will I? Who is the right choice? Again, Shirley's words floated back. "Did you know that dreams are just images of what your heart wants?" Rain closed her eyes and searched her heart. She found both Chibodee and Domon, but Domon's presence was stronger. She knew what to do. Rain's eyes returned to Domon's face. "I didn't know it before, but I see it now." She leaned forward and placed a chaste kiss on his lips. "I love you, too, Domon."

"Chibodee?" was the only word he could get out.

Rain smiled, "I thought I loved him. I really did, but somebody helped me see that he was just a very close brother. There's a place in my heart for him, but there's an even bigger one for you."

Domon smirked, "Very poetic. I'm sorry I'm not so articulate…" He leaned forward and caught her lips with his in a passionate kiss. It lasted but a minute, but it was the most wonderful minute they had spent together. Domon held her in an embrace and she rested her head on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry," she apologized.

"For what?" he asked.

"Everything. I never meant to hurt you."

"You mean with Chibodee? It's ok, it happens."

"It didn't just start out happening."

"What do you mean?" Domon asked, pulling away.

"Well," she averted her eyes, "It started out as a bet. He said you loved me, and I said you didn't. We pretended to go out and if you got jealous, he would win, and if you didn't, I would. Along the way, however, something went wrong, and neither of us know how or why."

"You were just pretending?" Domon didn't know whether to feel angry or relieved.

"Just in the beginning. In the end we weren't."

Domon scowled, "I thought so."

Rain sighed, "I couldn't help it. You can't help things like that. You know that."

"Yea, I guess I do." He smiled at her reassuringly.

"Let's go inside. We need to tell Chibodee." She sighed a little reluctantly.

"Why?" Domon asked immediately.

"Because. You know why."

Domon nodded begrudgingly and followed her inside.


They walked down the hallway and into the kitchen. They found only George. "George?" Rain asked, "Have you seen Chibodee and Shirley?"

George smiled at her, "Shirley was in her room last I saw her, and I think I saw Chibodee in one of the spare rooms."

"Thanks," Domon nodded gruffly.

They walked first to Shirley's room. "Why are we going here?"

"Because I want Shirley to know. She told me to talk to you and she loves Chibodee, so she can have him now."

"Shirley loves Chibode?"

"Yes," Rain answered patiently. She knocked on Shirley's door and pushed it open. "Shirley?"

Shirley looked up. "Hey, Rain." She smirked as she saw Domon. "Hey, Domon. Rain, is this what I think it is?"

Rain nodded with a grin. "You bet. He's all yours."

"What?"

"Chibodee's all yours." She winked.

Shirley made an effort to look confused. "What do you mean?"

Rain smiled. "To quote you, you know what I mean."


They walked out to find Chibodee. "Neither of you beat around the bush, do you?" Domon chuckled.

"Apparently not," Rain shrugged good-humoredly.

Rain slipped her hand in his and they continued on to the spare rooms. The first was empty, but they found Chibodee in the second. Rain motioned for Domon to stay behind and walked in alone. "Hey, Chibodee."

He smiled, "Hey! What's up?"

"Well, I need to talk to you."

"Is it good or bad?"

"In our case," she pointed to the two of them, "Bad."

"Uh oh. What happened?"

Rain took a deep breath and began. "I talked to Shirley this morning and she said some things that got me thinking. She also said that I needed to talk to Domon. I went and talked to him just now and he told me something that's changed everything. I thought about it, and I've realized something important. I don't love you, Chibodee."

"You don't?"

"No, I don't. I'm sorry, Chibodee."

Chibodee was silent at first. "Alright, I guess that means you love Domon, right?"

She nodded, "You're right."

"Like you did in the beginning."

Rain blushed but did not deny it. "I guess." She looked into his face and put a hand on his cheek. "You're not alone, though. Somebody here has loved me much longer than I did."

"Who?"

"You'll find her. Or at this point, she may just seek you out. She really does love you."

Chibodee nodded. "Then, what am I to you?"

Rain smiled and gave him a comforting hug. "My big brother."

Chibodee hugged her back tightly, then released her at the sound of a familiar growl. "Alright, alright," he chuckled sadly. "I'm away."

Rain held his hand for a moment before letting go. "I'm sorry, Chibodee. But, if it's any consolation, I had a great time while we were together."

He smiled slightly and nodded, "It is."

She walked out and Domon possessively stood behind her, blocking Chibodee's view of Rain.

"Domon, what was all that about?" she giggled once they were out of sight.

"What?"

"You know."

"Nothing."

Rain laughed, "Jealousy gets you nowhere. Come on, I'm hungry. Let's celebrate with dinner."

"No." Domon stopped and stepped in front of her.

"Why not?"

"Because," he answered. He faced her with a smile. "Will you go on a date with me, Rain?"

Rain grinned, "I'd love to, Domon!"

"Cool. I'm paying."

"No! I will, you don't need to."

"I asked you out."

"It was my idea."

"I'll pay."

"It's fine, I'm happy to pay."

"But I want to pay!"

"So do I!"

Domon smirked. "I'm paying and that's final. If you say another word, I'll have to shut you up."

Rain protested, "But!"

Domon shook his head, "I told you not to say anything." He quickly initiated a bruising kiss.

When they pulled apart, Rain smiled, "This means I'll be talking a lot more."

Domon laughed and put his arm around her as they grabbed their coats and walked out into the street.


I know what you will say first. Domon was ooc. I don't really think he was too much because if you think about it, he's just figured out he's in love and he sees there could be chance of getting Rain back. Besides, Domon doesn't give up on anything, does he? So he isn't going to give up on Rain now that he's realized he loves her, will he?

I hope the ending agreed with most people. If it didn't, I'm sorry. I am and always will be a d/r fan. That isn't going to change anytime soon. In another universe, if Domon didn't exist, Rain and Chibodee would be very cute, and hat was why I wrote this fic: because they're cute, but I'm a d/r fan.

Personal Reviews:

ABeautifulDisgrace You got it, guys are difficult! Well, no, Rain saw and sort of heard that Domon said something, but she couldn't make out what it was. She also didn't pursue it because obviously Chibodee's confession was a bit of a distraction. Thanks! Is this a good ending? Thanks for reviewing!

A Notorious Cat My faithful reviewer hehe. You did call the storyline, but I wasn't gonna tell you that 'til the end, was I? Don't worry, I'll always be a d/r fan and author. –gives Cat a depressant- haha jkjk Thanks for reviewing!
