Nonetheless Domon Kasshu headed off to his usual work. He didn't mention it to Rain but didn't think he should at all. His cell rang , at the same time it always did.
"Yeah?"-he answered.
"Good morning to you Domon"-the female voice greeted him
"What's on today?"-he asked in his curt style
"Oh my , wrong foot today?"
"Make it quick Bella."
"Fine…You got some undercover mission to do."
"Address"
"101-57th Ave"
"What am I ?"
"Yourself."
Domon Kasshu hang up and put his red bandana on a side of his bike. He drove to the alledge place, his sword under his shirt and now under his red cloak.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dr. Mikamura please go to intensive care , Dr Mikamura to intensive care , thank you." Rain heard the speaker and she ran towards the crowded room. Before even entering her assigned nurse stopped her.
"What's wrong Sally?" Rain asked worriedly
"Dr. Mikamura, the patients inside…"
"No time Sally .Tell me what kind of incident."
"Shooting, ours …he's hurt pretty bad, the others are half-dead."
"Thank you , now prepare to run the necessary blood tests , I want x-rays done also. Let's go in."
Rain wore new gloves before heading to the bloody bed. She covered her mouth also, and finally addressed her subject. His eyes were half-closed , there was blood on the right side of his stomach and he was looking straight at her.
"Domon!"- screamed Rain. She was speechless.
"Rain"-he whispered.
Rain looked around the room. Nurses and doctors were running up and down attending the others hurt in the shooting. Some of them were dead , the others bleeding like crazy , and why? Why was Domon there? Was he the shooter? Rain shocked her head and touched Domons face.
"Domon , look at me. I need you to tell me where it hurts."
He pointed to his stomach. "Sally , get the CPR! I need stitches, and the cleaning materials ! Domon , what happened?"
He didn't answer and Rain introduced in his vein a healing serum, which made him kind of sleepy.
"Here's everything doctor. I also brought the disinfectant and the thongs."
"Thank you Sally. Bring Dr. Keishi here , I'm going to remove the bullet, I need Dr. Keishi to stitch him."
"Right away doctor." The small female left and Rain started the process.
"Come on Domon , I know you'll make it."
Domon opened his eyes slowly from time to time. His body hurt a lot .He saw bright lights on top of him. He closed his lashes and fell asleep. He woke up some time later and saw a blurry Rain looking at him while he felt how someone else touched his stomach. The pain was too much and Domon left his body to the darkness's embrace.
About 6 hours later the Japanese man woke up. His eyes were still tired but he inspected the room he was in , grunting like he usually does. There were beds in front of him, all white though . The place smelled funny to Domons tastes , and the only noise he heard were breathing apparatus and other 'beeps' . On his side there was a balloon with a "get better" message and flowers from his work department. Then he noticed than sitting in front of him there was Rain , and she was asleep. He tried to sit up but he couldn't, and the noise from the heart track machine woke her up. She quickly went up to him , touched his forehead and smile sweetly.
"Hey Domon , how are you feeling?"
"Not great"-he whispered and she laughed in a low tone. She then sat down and looked at him with her blue eyes; this time she wasn't smiling.
"Domon , I want you to tell me what happened."
He gave a low grunt and looked down at his abs. He had a huge bandage around him , so he sighed and closed his eyes. His face was his usual stubborn one and Rain knew she wouldn't get nothing out of him. "I know youre good Domon." He didn't answer , he just stared at her.Rain looked at him patiently. She then took his hand in hers .
"You're lucky to be alive Domon. However I can't let you go home like this."
"You know I hate hospitals."-he tried to smile but it hurt him to do so.
"I know , so I offered to take you to my place until you're better."
"To your apartment?"
"Yes. It's that or you'll end up here for about…2 weeks."
Domon rolled his eyes and shrugged. Rain injected something in his vein and told him "Sleep tight" .He looked at her in disbelief and then felt how his eyes closed. When he was finally asleep Rain looked at the note in the flowers . "Get Better Domon Kasshu signed Bella." She felt a spark of jealousy going up and down her but then the sight of seeing Domon sleep so peacefully eliminated her doubts. She then started to think about the fact that she tendered him like she used to do between the gundam fights , and she liked to touch his skin, to feel that he was still as human as anybody else … just strong and special.
"Dr. Mikamura please go to Pediatric care, Dr. Mikamura to Pediatric care, thank you." Rain walked out the room and kept on doing her usual routine.
Domon complained as Rain helped him get to her bed. He was feeling much better even though the white bandage was wrapped tightly around him. He finally laid on her bed and grunted twice.
"Youre stubborn King of Hearts!"-yelled Rain and he looked at her with a funny smirk in the corned of his mouth. It had been more than a year since anybody called him by his title. He then closed his eyes and pulled up the cover. Rain had brought some of his clothes from his appartment and she placed them on the empy chair next to him. She sat next to Domons side and touched his forehead.
"How are you feeling?"
"Not bad Rain."
"What do you want for dinner , besides hospitals food?"
Domon made a "yuck" face and Rain laughed. She headed for the kitchen and came back carrying a tray with some mashed potatoes , chicken soup and a glass of water. Domon took his time and slowly he kind of sat in the bed. She held the tray waiting for him to get it , then she realize he couldn't move that much , so she slowly placed it on him.
"Rain"-he whispered and she looked up.
"Yes Domon?"
"Thank you for taking care of me."
Her eyes full of love sparkled , and she held the spoon up to his mouth.
"Open wide."
