A/N: I am a terrible, terrible, terrible person. I feel so bad, really I do. I promise all of you that I would update this in July, and I didn't. A lot of stuff happened since school was starting up, and writer's block doesn't help matters any. . I've also wrote a D/A one-shot as an apology. Please forgive me! See why I don't have a schedule? Either I'd forget about it, something would come up, or I would write something at the last minute and it would end up as shit. Before I go to the reviews, special thanks to Assassin-G for helping me on this chapter.
KireiNaKitty, hiya! Yay! Lol, glad you like that song-ficcy like chapter. Wow, I got an emotional response from that? Cool! Nah, don't worry about being late! I've been late to almost everything in my life that didn't involve my being in the classroom for school! .; It's okay. Hope when you read 11 and this one that it's okay for ya.
Lupin the 3rd, hey! A new one! I got a new reviewer! XD How awesome! Thanks for liking it, and yeah, give whoever recommended it to you my thanks as well! As for them, it's okay I suppose. I mean, if I have the right to write this, people have the right to decide to like it or not. However, I decided I'm going to handle it the way my Drama teacher suggested to. Thanks for sticking up for the fic though; it means a lot people like it to that degree.
Deathsythe, I LOVED your review! I was having a bad day when I read that, and it cheered me up! . Thanks! Lol, it was just too funny! You have to update your fics! They're just too good to ignore! Again, thank you for cheering me up and for liking the fic. Hey, do you have a IM sn? There's a couple of ideas I have for fics I'd like to discuss with you, if you don't mind. Mine are mageaeris (AIM), videlwarriorprincess (YIM), and (MSN). Or just drop me a line; I'm pretty sure my email is on my bio page. Thanks.
Assassin-G, heh. Maybe, maybe not… laughs evilly Thanks for liking and thanks for the congrats. Yeah, hard to believe I started this over a year ago, lol. Doesn't seem like that long.
Kiyuu-Chan, hi! Lol. Glad you liked it. Yeah, thought I was dragging that part out long enough, lol. Sorry for being so late with the update again. Thanks for being a fan!
Now, as a final note with everyone. All reviews are acceptable, but flames will be ignored. Lol, in fact go ahead and flame me; it gives the illusion that the fic is more popular than what it actually is with the number of reviews. XP

The Bitter Suite
"I do," she replied, smiling.
"Then by the powers vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride," the pastor replied, and the wedded couple didn't hesitate to do so. Everyone in the congregation cheered and clapped for them and continue to do so as George proudly walked her down the aisle.
The reception was beautifully laid out, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Even Allenby and Domon. However, they weren't together; Allenby told him after he returned his feelings that she would wait until he told Rain. She was still shocked that the whole thing had even happened. She felt…happy. It was weird. For the fist time in almost a year, she truly felt happy. It was great. She walked over to the buffet table to get a glass of punch, humming softly under her breath. When she turned around to go sit down, there stood Chibodee. She gasped softly in surprised, then laughed, smiling.
"Hi Chibodee! What's up?" she chimed.
However, Chibodee was in no smiling or joking mood. He looked at her seriously. "I know what happened," he said softly. She frowned slightly in confusion.
"What happened?" she asked, not understanding his statement. His expression never changed.
"I know what happened between you and Domon last night; I heard every word," he answered, his voice still low enough so no one could overhear them. Her green eyes widen in shock.
"Every word?" she whispered.
"Every single one," he confirmed. She stood there speechless; she didn't know what to say. However, Chibodee seemed to. "Don't do it."
"Don't do what?"
"Don't let Domon tell Rain about you two."
Allenby stiffen slightly, almost glaring at him. "Why not? Doesn't she deserve a right to know? Don't the three of us deserve not to live in a lie? Don't I deserve a right to be happy?" she asked him. Chibodee gnashed his teeth together in a somewhat nervous matter as his eyes looked off to the side and nodded.
"Well, yes of course you do, but…"
Realization hit her like a ton of bricks, and she looked at him seriously, struggling to not let her emotions go overboard. "But not if it conflicts with Rain's, huh?" Not saying a word, the Neo-American nodded.
"Allenby, she loves him, and if he leaves her… You just don't understand how much that'll hurt her."
She glared coldly at him. "Do you have any idea what it was like when I had to let him walk away?" she asked, her voice almost in a hiss. "Do you know how I felt? I wanted to die Chibodee!" She stared at him, but he looked to the floor, not saying a word to her emotional confession. "Ever since I can remember, I've been alone and upset. Now, I finally get the chance to be happy, I'm not going to let it go!"
"…" He didn't say a single word, nor even glance at her once.
"You say it will hurt Rain and that she doesn't deserve that, but she doesn't deserve this either! She deserves a kind man who loves her and who wants to protect and take care of her! Don't you see? This will be for the better!"
He didn't know what to say to her. It all made sense, but he didn't know how to put his feelings about the matter into words. She stood up straight and glared at him. "This is over. I'm going to go the bathroom," she finished and left. Chibodee stood there a moment longer and sighed heavily, shaking his head slowly. That did not go the way he wanted it to.
George and Marie-Louise their table after receiving thanks from them and went on to talk to some other guests. Domon brought his gaze back over to Rain, who was watching the couple with a happy smile on her face. She looked so happy, he almost began to feel bad about this. She had been his best friend and partner for a long time; she deserved the best. Finally, he cleared his throat. "Rain?" he asked, and she snapped out her daze and looked back to him.
"Yes, what is it Domon?"
"Rain, we're friends, right?"
"Of course we are!"
"Well, as friends, I--" he began when her cell phone cut him off, and he chose to keep quiet.
Rain blinked in shock and pulled out her purse to get it. "That's odd, I thought I had turned it off," she mumbled before pulling it out, wondering what it could be. Not too many people had her cell phone number, and she looked at the caller ID on it to find it was the hospital. She wondered what could be going on; they knew she was on vacation, and she had asked them not to call unless it was a major emergency. "Hello?…Yes, this is Rain Mikamura…Oh?…Oh my! That's horrible!…Are you sure I can be any help, it'll take me a couple of hours to get there?…Of course!…Yes, yes! I'm on my way!…Your welcome!" With a quick sigh, she hung up and placed the phone back in her purse.
"What is it?" Domon asked.
"There's been an accident. There was a gas pipe that had busted in at a business, and there's a shortage of doctors at the hospital; they need me," she answered, gathering her stuff to go.
"Do you need me to go with you?"
"No, I'll be fine! Besides, you seem really tired today. Why don't you just rest up tonight after the wedding, and come back tomorrow?"
"Alright, I will. Take care Rain." She smiled.
"I will. Ja ne!"
"Jamata," he responded as she left.
Allenby stepped out of the bathroom as Rain went nearly running out of the room, a distressed look on her face. She looked over at Domon, who was sitting at the table a little bit tense. She walked over to him and sat down across from him. "Did you tell her? Rain looked upset," she whispered.
He shook his head. "No, not yet. She just got a call from the hospital; something major had happened, and they're short on doctors, so they called her," he answered.
"Oh. Well, I hope everything turns out okay."
"Hey, look, about not telling her yet…"
"Domon, it's okay. Take as long as you need to tell her," she replied, touching his hand gently, smiling at him, hoping to reassure him.
He faintly smirked back. "Thanks Allenby," he said, looking at her.
"No problem," she responded, her smile growing slightly.
