Rain felt how her eyes were closing on her, and her body didn't seem to comply to her commands. "I'll just rest for a few minutes…that's all I need"-she thought , and placed her head on the arm resting on the table. She fell into a funny type of sleep , where she seemed to be asleep yet able to listen to all what happened in the real world. She felt a small kiss on her right check and sleepy she said "Domon?" "Not him." The familiar yet deep voice crawled her ears up to her brain ,and she snapped her eyes open wide.
"Seitt?"
"I brought you hot chocolate to wake you up. By the way , does your loving husband know that you have been coming every day for the past week to the labto do something that's not your usual "work" ?"-he sarcastically asked and Rain brushed her hair with her fingers. She took the hot cup on her hands and drank a little while Seitthe sat on a side of her desk.
"Thank you ."-she finally said.
"No problem Rain. You shouldn't have married him you know."
"Let's just not go there ."She sighed and looked at the papers in front of her. "Why did you tell me about this?" It was a stupid question Rain had been asking herself for the past week. She hadn't been able to sleep at all , not after seeing that ghost anyways.
"I thought you would help me , your abilities are incredible and with my equipment we can solve this mistery.Besides , if we win noble price you'll be next to me." He chuckle but Rain didn't seem to get his joke. She was too busy reading the papers over and over.
"What current information do you have about this virus?"
"I just know it has to do with the Dark Gundam . The cells regenerate so that the person is immortal , basically. This time however , skin cells do not turn gray but grow rapidly when there's a cut.
"Self regenerate."
"That's right. But why would anyone bring that problem again? I mean it was pretty obvious that your husband took care of those who had it."-his cold stare fell to Rain who just sat thinking.
"Did you say immortal?"
"Yes Rain , I think you're still asleep. Listen , I'll go down to your lab in the basement and keep on working at encoding the virus s structure. If I do that I may be able to use a vector to treat it ."
Rain nodded but didn't answer. Seitt looked at her and felt pity towards her. In his eyes , she wasn't happy. He got up , closed the doors and Rain heard how he went downstairs. "You have no idea… The patient will not show visual symptoms…"-she said and ran out of the office.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Domon Kasshu looked up to the sky. It was gray and he knew it would probably rain soon. He sat in front of a coffee , still questioning himself why he was there. Then a figure sat in front of him and asked him "Care for some coffee?"
"No."
"You don't look too happy to see me Domon."- Seitt commented while Domon shrugged.
He sighed and told Seitt "Just make it quick."
"Do you know Rain has been working with me for the past week?"
Domons mind was picturing funny images. "Why would that be?"
"You can ask yourself that question again."
Domon had to control himself from jumping and kicking his butt literally. "Did you came here to try to poison me with your comments?"-he asked and felt his body tensed.
"No. I came here to tell you what Rain hasn't. There is a virus with the properties of the Dark Gundams cells. I got a sample of blood with it and asked Rain to help me find a cure for it. Yet I keep asking myself who may want to face the mighty King of Hearts ?"-his sarcastic ending was missed by a confused Domon.
"The…the G cell virus?"
"Yes."
"Why wouldn't she.."
"Look at yourself Domon Kasshu, and answer why."
Domon got up and left , his next stop was Rain's clinic. When she saw him she ran towards him yet he pushed her away , the same way he used when Allemby was kidnapped. Rain feel to the floor and cried in pain "Domon!"
His eyes were two knifes aimed at her. "Why didn't you tell me that jerk was working with you? "Why didn't you tell me about the virus? Is that why you have been leaving early lately , to be with him? Answer Rain!"
She couldn't , she was speechless. She was there , in the floor, in pain. He was there , standing , full of hate.
"You wouldn't understand Domon."
"Try me Rain!"
"It's …it's your father.
Domon felt so much anger in him he didn't seem to listen to her.
"Domon , your father is the one developing this virus."
"Liar! You want me to believe that coming from you?"
Rain stood and faced him , her eyes turned into red pools. "Yes Domon , it is the truth. That's why I saw your mother , because he brought her to live."
"Just listen to yourself Rain. You're crazy!"
Domon walked away from her but she stopped him. "Go talk to him Domon , trust me! If you ever loved me please believe me."-her voiced was full of pain and he struggled to free his hand. He stormed out of the office and Rain was left alone , and she cried like a woman cries when she looses the love of her life. Seitt watched her as he thought about everything he heard.
Domon stood in front of his old house. For some reason his feet led him to it. He knocked on the door , no answer. He turned the doorknot to the right and it opened. He walked the familiar corridor until he saw the door leading to the basement. He went down the stairs and there he saw …
"Father?"-his incredulous voice made Dr. Kasshu turned around.
"Domon…what…what are you doing here?"
"What have you done?"
"Its…its your mother Domon . I designed something that will bring the dead to life , so we could be a happy family again."- he started laughing , crazy laughing while Domons eyes watched a figure that looked just like his mother but whos eyes didn't sparkle .
"Shes…"
"She is like her , programmed but like your mother, it is your mother."
"Father , you have to stop this. Thats not mom, she looks like a robot."
"Touch her son , touch her! She even smells like your mother!"
Domon felt how two tears rolled down his checks. He tried to move but then he shocked his head . "No!"-he screamed. "Thats not mom. You created a freak of nature ! You cant replace mom with that programmed thing. Let the dead rest in peace, I beg you father."
Dr. Kasshu felt his throat dried. "But , don't you want to have her , again , with us?"
"Thats not the way dad , not like that."
Dr. Kasshu looked at his son , and felt a sudden pain in his heart , then his mind became clear. His wifes life was not an experiment , neither was she a lab-mouse.
"I cant kill her now Domon. Ill…Ill burn my experiments…but I cant kill her ."
Domon got up and hugged him. He looked to the side and watched "his mother". "Ill help you burn it all dad. Now , I must go see Rain , okay? Don't do anything."
"Yes , yes" - he kept on saying and Domon ran to the clinic.
He found no Rain, but he saw how her things were still there. He called their house but nobody answer. He called her cell-computer and nobody answer. He cursed at himself for never believing her. Domon decided to drive to his fathers house but when he got there he found something he couldn't believe. His father had been shot , he was sliding down the stairs while his blood made trails. Domon ran towards him , and placed his head on his arms.
"Father! Who did this to you?"-his voice full of anguish. The doctor gasped a few times and whispering he answered "I didn't mean to hurt anybody ..I …I did this for us Domon."
Domon nodded and felt his heart aching. "Tell me dad , who did it?" "Rain…Rains in dang…"-he gasped two more times and his head rested on Domons hands. Domon screamed at the top of his lungs. He quickly went downstairs and found the place trashed , the body of his mother crushed , and a note . He red it and his hands turned into fists. "She is not yours to protect Domon Kasshu…" signed "Seitt."
