A/N: Read the bottom for Author Notes and the Disclaimer. If I post them up here, it would spoil the chapter, trust me. The responses for the reviews will still be here though. Also, please read my bio for an important message about my fics. Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience.

SSA, lol. Yes, yes, I live. Isn't that a disappointment? Lol. Aw, thanks! I'm glad it's still good; I seriously had my doubts! And I'm NOT being sarcastic! And Sai…. *whacks Sai* No, they're NOT! SSA writes great fics! So, shut up and be nice!

Xinderlla, ok good! Lol, my aren't we hyper? Glad to have your approval though. I think that Allenby honestly DID love Domon, but I don't think she hated Rain. Just my opinion though. Anyway, lol, you're right! After reading your review, I went back and re-read that part, and it does! ^_^ How cool that you found it!

Isis Hotep, hey! Wow, I made you cry? I didn't know my fic could be that moving. Thanks! I always like to know that my fics ARE indeed emotional and that the message is carrying through to the readers. It pleases me greatly! ^_^ Yeah, I agree; there's not enough fics about them out there. Hm…guess when I finish this, I'll have to post some more, huh? Lol. Thanks for the compliments!

Deathsythe, yeah? What is up with that new system? I mean, half the time I login to sign a review, and it tells me I already reviewed it. What the crap? But, I digress. Aw, it's really one of your favorite stories? I'm honored! ^_^ Yeah, that part was funny, and don't worry…it'll be a good ending! Don't worry; I'll finish reading it, and you SHOULD get more reviews! Well, hopefully, you'll start up again…. PLEASE??! *puppy-dog eyes* But I DO know how frustrating that can get. Sorry for making you wait so long.

KireiNaKitty, hey again! Lol. Don't worry about reviewing late! It's ok! As long as you liked it, that's all that matters! Yeah, they are cute.

Ohio-99, hey! You're a new one! Yay! Another reviewer! Glad to meet a fellow D/A fan! Glad you like the fic, but the other fans can tell you, it takes me awhile to update! Lol. ^.^;; But I'll try to be quick.

The Bitter Suite

The next morning, everyone woke up with high spirits, and the other Gundam fighters had to admit they were happy to see both Domon and Allenby a little more cheerful. Though, they could not help but wonder why. However, they chose to keep quiet, not wanting to arouse any suspicion from Rain or incur the wrath from either Gundam fighter, knowing well what they were each capable of doing.

Everything almost seemed better, now that the two were happy; it all seemed less…gloomy. Lively conversations went on throughout meals, and everyone seemed to be laughing and smiling more. The day went by smoothly, no tension at all, and after dinner, everyone went to bed, most of them still tired from dancing all from two nights ago.

Later that night, Allenby became restless, and she left her room and began to wander around the castle. She had to admit it was a rather beautiful place; it was a shame she hadn't had enough time to go exploring before, especially since the couple was getting married in two days. Oh well, now was a time as good as any for exploring.

She walked up a flight of stairs and walked down an unfamiliar corridor, looking closely at it. Suddenly, a soft melody began to play, drawing her attention. Curious, she began to follow the sound, walking into a lone room. She slowly opened the door, and it creaked slightly as it opened, and she gasped softly, seeing who it was.

Domon, hearing someone enter, stopped his training, and turned towards the door, smiling when he saw her. Allenby couldn't help but smile as he motioned her to come in. She walked into the room, finding it only to be lit from a few candles, outlining the room, with a black stereo against the wall, playing softly still. Quickly, she made her way to him and embraced him tightly and grinned when she felt him return the embrace. She looked up, smiling at him sweetly.

"Domon, I—" she began softly, but stopped after he placed a finger to her lips.

"Shh…" he whispered, and she nodded.

~ Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song ~

'How fitting this song is…' Allenby thought as she continued to look into his eyes. As warm and as tender as his touch was as he gently stroked her cheek, she felt a slight pain being sprung from her heart. He knew of her pain from loneliness, though he did not speak it, and his eyes told her he knew her whole life.

Without saying a word, he gently took one of her hands into his and placed his left hand on her hip. He smirked slightly and looked down to her, the expression on his face asking her if she was ready. She smiled and let go of his hand, wrapping her arms around his neck, still smiling as the two slowly began to dance to the song.

~ I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him, listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes ~

At first, they only made small circles around the room, staring into each other's eyes. Then, he slid his left hand up her side, sending shivers down her spine, and he gently removed her hand from its embrace around his neck and held it and spun her around gracefully, slowly to the beat of the music. Their bodies moved fluidly, in sync with one another as if they had planned out the dance beforehand.

~ Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song ~

His arm still around her waist, he lifted her up and slid up his arm just under her bosom, and his other hand left hers before placing itself under her left ankle, rising up her leg. Her body turned away from him, she leaned back in his touch, her head resting on his chest, and she laid her right hand over his as she tucked in her right leg and laying her left hand on his wrist. He slowly spun her around, each time, a little closer to the ground until he was on his knees and barely bend forward to make her foot touch the floor. Smoothly, she got up and turned to face him, holding on with her right hand to his left; she knelt down, almost straddling his right leg, her right knee barely touching his stomach as she wrapped her left arm around his neck. He placed his other hand on her upper back and dipped her back until the back of her head almost touched the ground before pulling her back up so close, their faces were almost touching, and they stared into each other's eyes, seeing their souls, not uttering a single word.

~ I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on ~

He stood up, cradling her close to him, and she blushed as she saw the intense look in his eyes. The warmth of the other's body was intoxicating, and it felt to each as if they were on fire, this new feeling of lust awakening within them as the touch of one another's bodies against theirs drove their hearts and minds wild. They stood there like that a moment longer, just staring still into each other's eyes, still silent. His grip on her loosen, and slowly, she slid down his body almost as she was taking her time, feeling his muscular frame, and rested her hand now on his chest. Again, they just stood in place, staring at one another, the hunger in their hearts growing. Then, as if remembering they were dancing before the pause, they started up again slowly, still holding hands, her right and his left, moving smoothly together in circles.

As enjoyable as the dance was, as much pleasure it gave them to be close together, it hurt them, knowing that this was as much, as close, as intimidate as it could go, no closer to unity than this. With each step they took, it felt as though a small needle was piercing their heart. With every touch, they felt as though they were starving beyond belief, hungry for one another. However, neither wanted it to end.

They pulled back, still holding on to one another, deep down afraid that if they let go, they would lose the other forever, and she slid back to him. He wrapped his arms around her back as she wrapped hers around his shoulders as they slow danced, the last verse now beginning to play.

~ He sang as if he knew me

In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
And he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong ~

The couple seemed to mold into one as they glided and bend into the muscles and curves of their bodies. They barely paid any attention to the song now as they slowed their motions, almost going out of beat.

Hearing the song coming to a end, they prepared themselves for the inevitable separation of their bodies, and he twirled her a couple of times, wanting to memorize every part of her body, and she looked into his eyes after he stopped, wanting to remember the look they held, the love that they were shining for *her*. Slowly, he spun her out and dipped her, holding her just a couple of feet from the ground, their eyes locked onto each other. Holding her in his arms, his lungs breathed in her scent with each breath, his eyes drank her in with each second, and his heart hungered for her with each beat.

He leaned down and closed his eyes as his lips claimed hers.

A/N: Hey! Yeah, I know I haven't updated in awhile, and there's nothing I can do to make it up to you people. I thank you so much for being loyal and patient with me. I had writer's block on it for awhile and then couldn't find the lyrics at first. Well, I guess I better explain this. Back when I started this fic, while I was still thinking about what to do for chapter two, I came down with a virus (I think it was a stomach one or it was the flu, one or the other, either way, I was sick as a dog), and during one of my many naps, I had a dream about Allenby and Domon dancing together silently, alone, in a dimly lit room. However, there was no song, or none that I could hear while I dreamt it. One day while my dad and my brother went into this Army/Navy store to buy camouflage jackets, I stayed in the car, listening to the radio. Suddenly, "Killing Me Softly" came on, and for whatever reason, the images from my dream came up, and I thought that would be the perfect song to use just because I could see them dancing to it. I originally was planning on having the dance later, but since I had writer's block on what to do and couldn't come up with any better ideas, I decided to write it now. I'm sorry if it was weird or wasn't good. However, I *did* put a lot of time into this chapter and hope you did enjoy it. Where Domon learned how to dance, I don't know. Maybe Master Asia taught him while he was training him. Remember The Karate Kid 2? Lol. OK, OK, bad joke. Heh, at least I finally put in some romance for you all. Oh, that reminds me! (Don't know why) Do you think I'm dragging this out too long (especially the whole part in Neo-France)? If so, I'll try to wrap it up then. Although, I am having some trouble with deciding on an ending…. Any suggestions are welcomed! ^_^; Mep! I've made this too long! Gomen! Eh, I'll just end it now. I do not own G Gundam and/or the song "Killing Me Softly With His Song."
